I've found some really great salons through Yelp.<br /><br />Our local community (Boston!) is actually having a shop local event to promote shopping locally that starts 11/23 through December 12/23, but I have no idea what other regions do. Yelp is a great source to find out about local events in your area too. If you have an active local community (like most big cities would), you'll be able to find a list of upcoming events on the front page!<br /><br />Don't forget to go to your indie movie theaters! There are some great ones still around probably playing movies you'll never hear about unless you're a movie buff!<br /><br />This time of year a lot of local arts & crafts fairs might be popping up in your area! Check them out! So many cool locally handmade things like jewelry, ornaments, awesome graphic tees, soap & so much more!<br /><br />Some great Boston/Cambridge businesses:<br />-When Pigs Fly (Delicious bread!)<br />-Magpie (Indie boutique with tons of interesting didn't know you needed knickknacks)<br />-Harvard Bookstore/Brookline Booksmith<br />-Black Ink (another knickknack store with a lot of useful & interesting things to see, including Japanese household cleaning items)<br />-Cambridge Antique Market (it's like walking into eBay/museum/back in time!)Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08023743713651996697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-79456013630496077462012-11-21T06:17:53.067-08:002012-11-21T06:17:53.067-08:00super post!

I will make sure to swing by and grab some dinner from our favorite local place and see if I can squeeze in those errands you mentioned. <br />Personally I'm staying inside Friday-- it's just too insane for me.
