Shopping Put-in-Bay?
Shopping is a term which has undergone numerous procedural changes throughout history. From market stalls, to little shops, to big-box stores, to Internet access–society has revolutionized the opportunity to acquire goods and services. While convenience has become a touchstone for successful shopping, the underlying motivation has remained the same: we either need something for survival or we desire something which may enhance our existence. In the case of the latter, one might hear someone say, “Shopping is an inspiration; like travel, it offers the chance to discover something new.”
At Put-in-Bay the notion of shopping is integral to having a good time during an island get-away. Though people enjoy visiting malls and on-line purveyors, there remains something quite special and satisfying about entering a small, home-grown business which offers personal attention, unique products, and local color.
