If you have the means, it is more important than ever to support our local small businesses. Many vintage clothing dealers have used the stay at home order to revamp the way they sell their vintage garments and accessories online.
When we emerge from our homes, these vintage hustlers are some of the small businesses we want to see survive and continue to grow.
