I was so happy to see the article on Westside Video in the March 13 issue. I love Westside Video, and I feel very strongly about supporting local business at all cost (even as a poor college student and mother of three! Anyone can choose local). I think I would truly break down and cry if we were to lose Westside Video. We need to remember that local business is us, it’s our community and we need to support our neighbors even through hard times and even when tempted by cheap and convenient alternatives. Thank you for reminding us of our community, and please, please keep it up!
