Buy Local
Promoting local business is as simple as having other company’s
business cards or brochures posted on a board in your store. In an
effort to promote the Oakbrook Area, we are distributing decals that say
“Check us out at www.Oakbrook.sc,” in hopes that local shoppers will
visit the site to find local restaurants, clothing, specials, coupons and
more. We are doing our part, so please join us, and promote your local
merchants, and everyone will benefit!
Top Ten reasons to Think Local in Summerville
Buy Local - Be Local – Help Oakbrook Businesses
1. Buy Local -- Support yourself and the Oakbrook Community.

Many studies have revealed when you buy from an independent, locally
owned business in the Summerville area, rather than a nationally owned
businesses, considerably more of your money is used to make
purchases from other local businesses. Oakbrook businesses
continue to strengthen the economic base of the Summerville
community. These include case studies showing that Summerville
owned businesses generate a premium in enhanced economic impact to
the community and our tax base.
2.Support Oakbrook Area Community Groups: Non-profit

organizations receive an average 250% more support from smaller
Summerville area business owners than they do from large companies.
3. Keep the Oakbrook Area Unique: Where we shop, where

we eat and have fun -- all of it makes our Oakbrook community home.
Our one-of-a-kind Oakbrook businesses are an integral part of the
distinctive character of Summerville. Summerville tourism businesses
also benefit. “When people go on vacation they generally seek out
destinations that offer them the sense of being someplace, not just
anyplace.” ~ Richard Moe, President, National Historic Preservation
Trust.
4. Reduce Environmental Impact: Locally owned businesses

in Oakbrook Area can make more local purchases requiring less
transportation. This generally means contributing less to sprawl,
congestion, habitat loss and pollution.
5. Create Additional Jobs: Small local businesses are the

largest employer nationally and in Oakbrook area community, provide
the most jobs to local residents.
6. Receive Better Service: Oakbrook businesses often hire

people with a better understanding of the products and services they
offer, and take more time to get to know customers.
Cont. next page

7.Invest in the Oakbrook
Community: Local Oakbrook businesses are
owned by people who live in this community,
and they are less likely to leave, and are more
invested in the community’s future.
8. Put your Taxes to Good Use:

Oakbrook businesses require a relatively little
infrastructure investment and make more ef-
ficient use of public services as compared to
nationally owned stores entering Oakbrook.
9. Buy What you Want, Not What

Big Advertising Budgets Want you
to Buy: A South Carolina marketplace
comprised of tens of thousands of small
businesses is the best way to ensure innovation
and low prices over the long-term. A multitude
of small businesses, each selecting products
and services based not on a national sales plan
but on their own interests and the needs of
their local customers, promises a much broader
range of product choices.
10. Promote Local Prosperity: An

escalating body of economic research shows
that in an increasingly homogenized world,
entrepreneurs and skilled workers are more
likely to invest and settle in communities that
preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and
distinctive character.

Charleston’s Office Of Cultural Affairs
launches www.CharlestonArts.sc, as thier
new arts Web Site
From: Charleston Currents
The City of Charleston’s Office of Cultural Affairs has launched http://www.CharlestonArts.sc, a companion
Web site to the OCA’s primary page at the city’s official site.
CharlestonArts.sc will be updated daily with information and features, including an arts calendar that users
can search by date, artist, presenting group or venue; social networking widgets; and a directory of local arts
and cultural organizations and venues.
“We are hopeful that CharlestonArts.sc will be a major benefit to local artists and arts organizations by
disseminating information about their events with the most up-to-date information to a broader public,” said
Ellen Dressler Moryl, director of the Office of Cultural Affairs.
Other options for users at CharlestonArts.sc include the following:
• Arts organizations can download forms from the Office of Cultural Affairs, submit events, update contact
information and compare performance dates with other area organizations.
• The Tools for Professional section of the Web site features job listings for arts professionals, including full
time and part time work as well as internships and volunteer opportunities with arts and cultural
organizations in the tri-county area.
• Updated grant opportunities for arts organizations, with detailed information, including deadlines,
application and contact information.
• Call for Submissions and Call for Auditions pages with details about the location, deadlines, fees and
additional requirements.
The new Web site also hosts connecting pages for general information on the Office of Cultural Affairs and
its projects: the Charleston Farmers Market, the City Gallery at Waterfront Park, Holiday Magic, Happy New
Year Charleston!, the Holiday Parade of Boats, the Lowcountry Quarterly Arts Grant Program, Piccolo Spo-
leto and the MOJA Arts Festival.
The Web Site was developed and is being hosted by Carolina Media Services ( www.ONLY.sc) .

1. Neighborhoods are where we all grew
up a long time ago. Today, because of
golf courses, shopping areas,
subdivisions, jobs, schools, and a
transient society, a neighborhood means
different things to different folks.
2. Neighborhoods can be as small as a

dozen or so houses, and be as many as
thousands of homes.
3. Neighborhoods are common, and

perhaps close to universal, since most
people in urbanized areas would
probably consider themselves to be living
in one.
4. Neighborhoods are convenient, and

always accessible, since you are already
in your neighborhood when you walk out
your door.
5. Successful neighborhood action

frequently requires little specialized
technical skill, and often little or no
money. Action may call for an investment
of time, but material costs are often low.
6. With neighborhood action, compared to
activity on larger scales, results are more
likely to be visible and quickly
forthcoming. The streets are generally
cleaner; the crosswalks are painted; the
trees are planted; a festival draws a crowd.
7. Visible and swift results are indicators of

success; and since success is reinforcing,
the probability of subsequent neighborhood
action is increased.
8. Because neighborhood action usually

involves others, such actions create or
strengthen connections and relationships
with other neighbors, leading in turn to a
variety of potentially positive effects, often
hard to predict.
9. Over and above these community

advantages, neighborhood activity may
simply be enjoyable and fun for those
taking part.
But in addition to these benefits,

considerable research indicates that strong
and cohesive neighborhoods and
communities are linked –quite possibly
causally linked – to decreases in crime,
better outcomes for children, and improved
physical and mental health. The social
support that a strong neighborhood may
provide can serve as a buffer against
various forms of adversity. Sometimes a
neighborhood isn’t a neighborhood until an
event occurs, which draws people together,
to become “neighbors”.
