This year's winner for Best Blog, Eye On Miami, contemplates boycotting Lowe's for building outside the Urban Development Boundary:
I need a washer and dryer but I am not going to get them at Lowe’s. Since Lowe's insists on building outside the Urban Development Boundary, even though they have about 12 acres within the line, they aren’t getting my money anymore.
Readers chimes in that Home Depot isn't any better after it "bullied" its way into Coconut Grove. People just can't let things go.
The Bosch duo I want to get is only in a few stores...so I am limited: However, even though I called the Lowe's store...I just can't shop there and I realized that while on the phone. It made my stomach turn. It would go against everything I believe in to give them any money (even though I shopped there for all my kitchen appliances years ago). Sadly, Lowe's won't care about my boycott in the scheme of things, but I will.
Home Depot doesn't offend me as much...yet -- and those that say I should shop on line: Are you going to come over and help me lift them and install them?
