Photo | Jackson Free Press | Jackson, MS

Photo detail

Without realizing it, I had been shopping local for years. I frequented Swell-o-Phonic, Cups Espresso Cafe (pictured) and the since-closed Fondren Beverage Emporium when I was a teenager. I went to Square Books and Off Square Books a lot when I was at the University of Mississippi, and my favorite restaurant since my early 20s has been Rooster's.

Shop, Give, Live Local

Shopping local isn't something I necessarily thought about until I came to work at the Jackson Free Press, which puts great emphasis on helping locally owned businesses.
