In the LAND OF THE FREE are we not very lucky to voice our choice when we choose to frequent those businesses that provide good inventory and good service. And yes, I continue to shop and eat where I enjoy the inventory, service and food. So here's to those business owners who do it right. Good luck to all of you in these trying times and let's hope that we consumers can continue to provide the necessary support. And dear indeed are all those volunteers who contribute their time/efforts in supporting the thrift stores and the animal centers. Auburn is a small town with a big heart.
