Re: [Neighbors] Supporting Local Businesses

28 Sep 2016

      Hi All,

Speaking of local business, come out to support the businesses of North Cambridge - including mine, Nüssli118° - this Saturday from 11-3 from Pemberton Market to Century Bank.  We will be giving out free samples, Spindler Confections will be handing out free goodie bags to the first 50 customers, Century Bank will be doing face painting and Pemberton’s will have many of its vendors handing out free samples.  It will be a fun event.

Hope to see you!

I appreciate your perspective Ruth and don't disagree with your insights.

But I think there also other forces in play such the exorbitant price

of buying property or renting retail space (for example) in our

neighborhood that result in new boutique businesses that essentially cater to the 1%.

I certainly don't have easy answers and I wish this couple best of luck

with their new business venture. I'm just noticing how it's less

that's a loss.

SB,

I agree with you, partially, especially about the gentrification of
...
...
our  neighborhood and it¹s effects.
...
...
We will still go to Christina¹s for our ice cream stash, but budget
...
...
permitting we will buy a small cup/cone from time to time from
...
...
Honeycomb  Creamery, because it is so different, so creative, and
...
...
around the corner.
...
...
They are also a very nice, hard working couple (I met them, heard
...
...
about  what they do); the ingredients are all top notch and are from
...
...
local farms.
...
...
...
...
To some extent, we are all shocked when confronted with the real
...
...
price for  handmade, locally-sourced food, instead the air-filled,
...
...
overly sweet and  fake stuff  (speaking of ice cream) at the grocery
...
...
store.
...
...
I grew up on a small farm, as did my husband, and we know hard that
...
...
work  is, and the risks farmers take.  Within reason, and budget
...
...
permitting, I  will happily pay more at the farmer¹s markets, but many
...
...
of our staples  still must come from Star.
...
...
We are just tring to eat less of it all, make better food choices,
...
...
waste  lessŠ  But comparatively speaking, I think Americans have
...
...
gotten lulled into  paying less for both food and clothes than most of
...
...
the folks in Europe,  for example.
...
...
Our clothes are cheaper, for example, because they are being made for
...
...
cut-rate prices halfway around the world (never mind the jobs we lost
...
...
here). Same thing with big, factory farms.

I really do appreciate and try to support "local" businesses, but
...
...

'small  batch' artisanal ice cream for 15 bucks a pint? Really? It is
...
...
...
striking  to observe how such changes along Mass Ave unfortunately
...
...
...
also mirror the  end of working and middle class life in our city.
