There are certainly some areas where I make real efforts to buy locally, mostly entertainment items like video games, DVD's, music and so on. The situation I face is that with two SuperCenters within 15 miles of my home, Walmart has essentially taken over my local retail environment. This is where online comes in for me. My support of entertainment purchases is really more of a anti-Walmart move than an anti-online move. I completely reject the concept that I should in some way feel guilty about buying online vs locally, I don't believe that is where the threat to the small retailer truly lies. If anything, the advent of online shopping has made my local retailers more diversified and a whole lot more competitive in terms of price and customer service than they ever were before, and as a consumer, I like that and support it through my purchasing.

Having said that there are not many here. I have a 20 minute drive. I do buy dvd's of the internet and some computer parts. Computer shops are not frequent here either. There is one shop in town and I do buy computer parts there but its limited. I think with the internet it will get harder to buy local. Many shops in the uk have closed down. The number of charity shops is increasing. No future because people want the cheapest and never mind the concequencies. The french are good though. they do buy french cars. Not a good idea really but they still do.
