Buy Local Shop Magna

Is your confidence in the political process waning? There is a more impact full way you can "vote". Vote with your pocketbook. Every time you spend you're making a decision, not just about the stuff you're buying, but about the place you live.

I have pledged to vote against special interests and cities overrun with big box stores by shifting my spending from corporate businesses to locally owned shops and products made in Utah. I challenge all Utahans to shift just ten percent of their spending to local shops.

Since I started writing with the Copper Quills group the first and third Thursdays of each month at 12:30pm in the living room of the Magna Kennecott Senior Center (9228 West Main St.) my new haunts include:

Protagonist Coffee Shop (9113 W 2700 S), established in 2014 offers bestseller whole bean coffee blends- Mystery, Thriller, Crime, Romance, Horror, Fantasy and Humor. Try their iced Pumpkin Spice Frap, you'll be glad you did!

Nonna's (8979 W 2700 S) is family owned pizzeria with old world Sicilian charm and taste. Every meal, is made from scratch, when you order it. I recommend their chicken marsala.

Art On You (8971 W 2700 S) is Magna's first registered and licensed tattoo shop. Their blog suggests adding a Winter Season event to the list of unique, Magna celebrations -the Marching of the Krampi! Visit their website http://www.artonyou.com/about.php

Preserve Magna's rustic and noteworthy history by shopping your conscience this and every season!
