Makes sense. I'd recommend adding something to the lemon to get it up to par.

I am fearless, because I've been afraid.
I am wise, because I've been foolish.

Was shopping for running shoes. I was happy to see NEW BALANCE manufactures all their shoes in the USA. Bought them.

Not all are US made...a fair percentage of them are though. Mine were made in China. I love NBs....I've been wearing them for at least 10 years. I don't think I have abnormally wide feet...but their wide selection fits me like no other shoe. I have 2 pairs of sneakers and a pair of "water" shoes. I've tried just about every other brand and don't think I ever will again.

I couldn't find a decent travel laptop backback.Ended up going with Swiss Gear.. ironically made in China, yet still priced as though made in switzerland.

I'm going to keep an eye out for upstate NY made products when I'm in china. I think my best bet is finding French's mustard, B&L and coopervision contacts... cant think of much else o look out for.

I am making a strong effort to buy local this holiday season. I feel that creating an attitude about supporting local manufacturers and retailers is essential to reversing the state of our economy. I have realized that our situation is our own fault. Every time we decide to buy something made far away, we choose to send our hard-earned money far away. It has added up over time and boosted the economies of other countries with our salaries.
I want my money close. I want my money in the hands of US Citizens, if not New Yorkers. And I want the people that make products in NY to be in demand.
So let's share ideas about products made here... for daily use, or for gifts.
One idea I had for gifts this season is TICKETS....
Buy tickets to local events and shows.
They make wonderful gifts! Especially a pair of tickets to A Christmas Carol.
Here are some for Rochester
