The Victory Neighborhood, part of the Camden community, is located in the northwest corner of Minneapolis. It derives its name from Victory Memorial Drive, a lovely parkway running through the neighborhood that was dedicated in honor of Hennepin County soldiers who died in World War I. The neighborhood is bounded on the south by Dowling Avenue, Memorial Parkway on the west, the Canadian Pacific railyards on the north and Newton Avenue on the east.

Pick 3 – Spend 50 – Save Our Local Economy!

What three independently owned businesses would you miss if they disappeared? Stop in. Say hello. Buy something that brings a smile. It is your purchases that keeps those businesses around.

If half the employed population spent $50 each month in locally owned independent businesses, it would generate more than $42.6 billion dollars in revenue. Imagine the impact if 3/4 of the employed population did that.

For every $100 spent in a locally owned independent stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures. If spend it in a national chain only $43 stays here. Spend it on-line and nothing comes home.

It only takes 1 person to start the trend — YOU.
