Green Tip - Buy Local!!

Billy Dec, fellow blogger extraordinaire and Chicago entrepreneur from " A Chicago Thing " invited a group of ChicagoNow bloggers and 3 curbillion of his closest friends to an amazing party celebrating local blues talent at the  Rock It Bar and Grill River North .

Buying local means more than buying locally grown vegetables. It also means helping and promoting the local economy by buying talent, restaurants, clothes, and everything else we

can at a local spot. It is important for all of us to do this - it might just raise the economy and build an economy where more people have jobs.

Below you see some of the amazing blues band talent Billy Dec and his team featured - all tremendous! The crowd was great - it was a perfect evening.

Thanks Billy Dec for the great evening and for seeing "local" as important; local talent, local customers, and local economy.

What are you going to do for your local economy? Buy and support local. Make a difference.
