Organized chaos or hidden treasure? This traditional hardware store in Phuket, Thailand, is packed with everything from screws and pipes to paint and cables. It may look chaotic, but there’s a system only the shop owner truly understands!
This was the sign outside the one store in our #town They were open for 99 years but unfortunately closed last year.

Attended a #localbusiness job fair today, chatted with someone from the elevator repair guild and also a recruiter from emergency services dispatch. Neither was hiring right now, but maybe some upcoming opportunities.
The recruiter from construction trades seemed to be unable to hear me, pointed at my mask, though nobody else I spoke with had that issue. It was a very brief visit at her table.
Ventilation at the job fair was great, peaking at 603ppm CO2 with maybe 25 attendees total.

A vibrant red storefront houses a barber shop with a blue and white barber pole next to a tree on the sidewalk. A parking sign for handicapped parking is visible on the left side of the image.

This is just a great neighborhood Vietnamese cafe in Fields corner, Dorchester. No fancy store front, no fancy interior design or trendy tables. But the Banh Mi is so good, freshly made. And a giant grilled pork belly Banh Mi just costs $8 
I wouldn’t even expect this kind of price still exists!! OMG!!!

If every adult in the UK spent just £5 per week in their local shops and businesses instead of online, at the supermarket, or with the huge multinationals it would be worth 13 .5 billion going directly back into our #towns. Which means real jobs, better facilities and nicer places to live. Makes you think doesn’t it? #economy #LocalBusiness

There is advice and a pack available to start a local campaign for your own town.
My spouse ordered food from #GrubHub and the restaurant was a ghost kitchen. What's weird is that the real restaurant serves this type of food normally, and it's local with a good reputation. Why wouldn't they use their own brand, and instead used the ghost kitchen brand?
@leahwrenn @patrace @spiraledu I was so happy find a signature booklet in favor of campaign finance disclosure and limits. Thanks to #LocalBusiness who allowed the table in their entry way and long time active citizen who offered us the opportunity to sign. #akgov #Juneau

If you want to bitch at <fill in the blank big multinational corporation that's ripping you off>, PLEASE DO!
If, however, there is a #LocalBusiness that is HANDMAKING their products trying to eek out an existence in this crazyass world, and those products don't *EXACTLY* precisely fit your needs, then by all means...
SCROLL ON DUDE/KAREN
No need to...

'Consumers in Denver looking to support businesses owned by people of color now have a way to do so with just a few taps and clicks. It's all thanks to The Center for Community Wealth Building, a Denver-based nonprofit organization, which recently helped launch a website dedicated to connecting consumers with BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color)-owned businesses.'
For #FensterFreitag, an homage to small, #LocalBusiness: the late, great Weirdo Records that really caught (or set?) the vibe in #CentralSquare, #CambridgeMA.
