It was a neat find, my brother is graduating from McCann Tech tomorrow night. I lived in Pittsfield for about 5 years, and now I live about 40 minutes from you just over the NY/VT border. I miss the Berkshires, but I don't miss the tourists ;) Hi there,

I try to spend locally with greenbacks. I shop at a local & fantastic toy store (Persnickity in NA), I bum corn from the farm on the way back from my walk, with only a yellow sticky with my name & number for collatoral, I can't wait to experience a full season of fruits and vegetables from Racine's Farm, and I'm breaking up with dunkin donuts - a bad habit I had fallen back into and have been off for almost a week now. I think I understand the point of the Berk-shares, but we don't have them up here and I'd have to have a really good reason to get them - like the butcher gave a 5% discount on pork chops for berkshire bucks, or I could not have to pay the deposit on a growler from the new brewery, some sort of tangable member benefit. I'm not a purist though - I work on a laptop most certainly made someone outside of this country and have developed an unexplained want for a new vehicle. I have yet to twitter - mostly because I don't have a hand held, should I be twittering? Hi barbara – welcome. I try to spend locally with greenbacks.

And great to meet you, thanks to Chris and to Twitter. I saw a piece on the CBS evening news last night about Berk-Shares -- a currency designed to help keep cash in town. Berk-Shares not being accepted in the chains. Interesting idea. What kind of currency to *you* spend? barbara Amy – Great to read this. And great to meet you, thanks to Chris and to Twitter.
