The Difference a Dollar Makes
JOSHUA FANNING discovers that a city can only grow and become what you want it to if you feed and nurture it.
The Internet said something beautiful to me the other day.
It wasn’t a brash statement like what I’d imagine the all-powerful, world-wide phenomenon to come up with. No. It 
was a quiet thing.
It said: “Here we are. Where are you?”
The impulse to contribute to the billions upon billions of images and words online, when you sit down at the computer, is magnetic. All of us, we’re sucked up against that screen eagerly clicking away, being drawn ever-deeper into the bowels of the beast, leaving trails of comments and images along the way, in the hope that people find us and the Internet recognises us.
Globalisation was meant to cause individuals to feel disconnected and disillusioned but the Internet has had the reverse effect. It wants to know all about our place and what we’re doing there.
And that’s the beautiful thing. Where we come from and what we’re doing there.
It might be weird to suggest that the Internet is about encouraging interaction with the physical world, even tenuous. But the hungry beast wants for more, always, and the true gold on the Internet now is always parochial and always, always ridiculously creative.
But what if where you live seems kinda dull?
Trust me, it’s not.
In 1961 an unassuming woman in Greenwich Village, New York City, wrote a book about her neighbourhood, about corner-stores and barber shops, about eight-storey walk-up flats and greengrocers. It was about the city and what made it great. Jane Jacobs’ The Life and Death of Great American Cities celebrated what nearly everyone else at the time was calling slums and eyesores: the close-knit urban neighbourhoods of NYC that were under threat of demolition to make way for a highway across lower Manhattan. Jacobs’ attention to the seemingly small things that make a city work well for its residents – the way people on the street deter crime; how a mix of shops and housing make a neighbourhood both convenient and lively, were revealing but also… pretty obvious.
Independent retail and small business are literally on the ground floor when it comes to building a city; the city you want. The characters who run these shops, the grumpy comic book guy, the rock-star hairdressers, the musical encyclopaedia girl, and their love/contempt for you and/or their little shop, paint the picture of what is different, what is unique and what is to celebrate about here.
Big box stores such as Borders, Just Jeans, JB Hi Fi and Harvey Norman, while certainly employing local people, say nothing about your city. A franchised cup of coffee, while perhaps slickly branded and predictably decent, is nothing to celebrate, nothing to email your contacts in Tokyo about or update your blog with.
Jacob von der Lippe makes six violins a year on a little street in Oslo, Norway. Thereses gate is situated in Bislett between the east and west of the capital and it is one of the most beautiful and eclectic streets in Europe. On this strip alone there is a vintage furniture store, an antiquarian book shop, a shop specialising in Norwegian design, a fashion designer, a florist, a hairdresser, a clockmaker and of course, beautifully decorated cafes and bars with gorgeous food and drink. However, what defines Thereses gate as a success and something to celebrate is that it’s local.
“Most of the people shopping in Thereses gate are locals,” Jacob says in our conversation via email, “I recognise many of the people who are passing by my window each day.”
Just by choosing to shop there and supporting good concepts and beautiful stores, they are, in-turn, creating their immediate environment and have a degree of control over the quality and character of the neighbourhood they live in. It’s the equivalent of a “thumbs up” on Facebook but a whole lot more fucking meaningful!
And what the locals like is important, because it’s certainly not all success stories on Thereses gate. “I’ve seen many small shops open and close within a year,” admits Jacob. Location isn’t enough: if the concept of the shop is poor, it will fail. Jacob believes unsuccessful stores don’t have a realistic understanding or respect for their customers, “It’s quite hard to sell a product that you can find elsewhere much cheaper,” he writes. “For example – clothes. To succeed, you have to find clothes that are really ‘special’ in order to give the clients that ‘little small extra’.”
And it’s precisely this little small extra that is the reward for shopping at good independent stores. It is the little small extra which gives your city character, the off-hand and perhaps slightly inappropriate banter with your feisty barista or the amazing lesson on Japanese selvage you get from your denim sensei. Just the idea that you can walk through the doors of your favourite bar and the bartender be already shaking your favourite drink is probably a cause for concern but beautiful nonetheless.
Marcus Barber is a Futurist. He advises Federal departments, state government and local departments, NGOs, as well as international companies like General Motors and Fosters on their relevant futures by identifying the signals of change that e uuu from both close to home, and around the world. Phew.
Marcus knows what drives a city and he believes the relationship between small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and a city is integral. Where a person decides to shop, and how they spend their money, has a huge effect on the development and expansion of a city.
“It’s very much a case of people thinking, ‘I want to help this business along’ and then really encourage themselves to go there regularly or consistently bring their friends along. That little $2 or $3 spend here and there certainly adds up.”
It’s not enough to like something in real life. In real life you 
have to buy their products or else they’ll simply close.
But Marcus is optimistic.
“People shop locally. In times of an economic downturn, 
people get smarter about where they shop and what they choose to support.”
While the service industry such as building, painting and plumbing gets a boost (thanks K. Rudd) Marcus believes this attitude also spills over into retail where, he says, “people start to think, ‘maybe I should shop with the local bloke, who I get to know, rather than the big corporate entity.’”
And it’s precisely this conservative attitude that needs to be fostered beyond the downturn and into times of prosperity.
Supporting small business means you’re supporting a person. A person who will invest in renovating their store, cleaning their sidewalk, painting their storefront, cleaning off tags, commissioning artists to paint their store, hiring graphic designers to create a new brand identity and advertising campaign for their business to run in a free magazine… ahem. It’s organic. A person is never, ever going to ask, “Did you say 
size 8? If this is correct, please say ‘Yes’ or ‘No’…”
Indeed the choice is easy but perhaps I’ve painted too rosy a picture here. Because it has to be outed: we Australians have an inherent mistrust for anything local. And I’m not only talking about the type of story where a local shop starts stocking brands a customer thought was “cool” only when they had to travel interstate to get them (p.s. that person’s a dickhead and needs to vacate the city immediately). No. Our collective cultural cringe extends even to our manufacturing sector.
Tom Black’s company, Velocity, has been building bicycle components for 20-odd years. The first product they ever manufactured was a bottle cage in 1988, when he was working out of a shed on a 40-acre property north of Brisbane. Within a few years they began making rims and now, rims are 99 per cent of what they do.
Velocity’s wheels are world-renowned, the B43s are made from aluminium mined in Queensland, extruded, then hand rolled and anodized in Brisbane. The triple-walled rim is said to be bomb proof, nuke proof, hence the name, and they’re in demand across the globe. Despite this, Australia is an uphill battle.
“If you want to do something in Australia it’s got to be twice as good, to be considered half as good,” Tom says resignedly, “if the quality wasn’t there, we wouldn’t be selling anything.”
Oh but they are quality and they are indeed selling.
The week before chatting with me on the phone from Brisbane, Tom had sent off a 40 foot shipping container full of rims to their, relatively new, 16,000 square-foot warehouse in West Michigan U.S.A. “I can’t remember the exact number,” Tom says, as I imagine him crossing off zeros, “but it was well in excess of 8,000 rims and that was the second one of those in six weeks.”
Currently, Velocity ships 80 per cent of their rims to the U.S. and while he admits the market is much bigger there, he also feels Velocity is far better accepted in the U.S. than Australia. “In the U.S., and we’re doing really well in Europe now as well, the “Aussie Made” really seems to be a selling feature. Forget what the product is. Whereas in Australia it’s the opposite, if it’s not imported it mustn’t be any good.”
But success for Velocity in Australia doesn’t necessarily mean massive growth instantly; perseverance, from the outset, has been the only attitude Tom’s allowed himself in 20 years of building wheels. For him, the fact that Velocity isn’t just importing something and branding it, but that they employ 20 people in Brisbane to make the product, is a source of pride. But, “it’s more than that though,” he continues, “it’s just a feeling that this is the right thing to do.”
Investing in his city, employing locals and managing every step of the manufacturing process, has delivered Tom a unique advantage in what is widely recognised as a booming industry. Velocity, albeit not entirely appreciated in Australia, is a massive success story, a dividend earned from having stayed put in Brisbane, doing what they could, with what they had.
We’re often made to feel that a dollar doesn’t make a difference. But cities work like ecosystems. Where we choose to spend a dollar does, in actual fact, make a massive difference. Each coin casts a vote that will determine the success or failure of a little part of your city because independent shops feed and grow from the ground up, not top down.
I would have enjoyed interviewing Jane Jacobs but sadly, 
she died in 2006 at the age of 89. In one of her last interviews, in 2003 with Reason Magazine’s Bill Steigerwald, Jacobs again argued that healthy cities are organic, messy, spontaneous 
and serendipitous.
Her resounding statement about what a city should be like? “It should be like itself. People in Portland love Portland. That’s the most important thing. Every city has differences, from its history, from its site, and so on. These are important. One of the most dismal things is when you go to a city and it’s like 12 others you’ve seen. That’s not interesting, and it’s not really truthful.”
Here we are: hundreds of countries, ethnicities and religions, all communicating in the one medium, feasibly simultaneously, as we go about a massive social re-organisation, selecting new clans, based on common-interest, community and cliques, rather than history, proximity or ignorance.
But where are you?

Office 2007 was the cheapest alternative that allows one to retain the flexibiity and features of Microsoft Office.ou do have the option to save as 32 bit so in reality I have to save all work in the 32 format... so why build a 64 bit Microsoft Office 2007 that is not compatable to older versions? I had Office 2007 Pro and upgraded to Office 2010 Home and Student and when the trial period for Windows 7 ran out, I upgraded to the Home and Business keycard to keep Microsoft Office 2010.plus a right click on the mouse brings commonly used funtions (paste, cut , font size) right to your finger tips for quick and convienent use. Very satisfied with Office 2010 Office for Home and Small Business 2010 Worked perfectly and saved hundreds. Great buy.
I really agree with what you are saying. BE where you are.
I used to chair a council/community tourism committee in NW NSW.
My favourite public speaking line was every dollar spent in town goes around three times - every new dollar coming in is a bonus.Supporting local business has many benefits. It keeps the businesses going, local staff employed and helps maintain the community atmospheres exampled in this beaut article.
While I speak now of my community, Southport at the Gold Coast (paradise one day, parody the next!) my comments apply broadly to all areas under threat: if we are to stave off out-of-town developers blindly bulldozing business and residential environs to make way for multi-floored edifices and no-personality fanchise-filled strip malls, we must support our local business, tradies, schools, post offices, libraries, community facilities - not now and then but all the time.
Drink at the Angler's Arms, shop at the Alecia Street/your local street shops, brunch at Agave or Jambo Java cafes, get fruit & veg from the local grocer, bread from the organic Celtic bakery etc, milk from the corner store. Send your kids to local schools. Post your mail in the streetside letter boxes.
Localities become overtaken, lost, forgotten over the years. I learned the importance recognising localities and to keep using their names early in my days as cadet journo with Northern Miner at Charters Towers, with rural weekly North Queensland Register, then reinforced again when I went to Inverell Times as editor. Post offices, railway lines/sidings, old wool truck loading points, schools, out-of-the-way tennis courts and community halls in the middle of nowhere – all important identities to those folk who lived, worked and played wherever.
As cities grow, those little places tucked away in the suburbs go the same way.
Losing these names erodes our community identities.
On title plans, our street – Kindra Avenue – is shown as being in Hamilton Heights – little used now except for a strip of local shops in Alecia Street. So I ensure it’s always included in my address.
Don't just whinge about the rubbish on the street - pick it up and put it in the nearest bin. Be proud to be a local and stick up for your suburb.I applaud this article, Josh. I hope it is widely distributed to give people pause for thought.
cheers,
eoin macdhugail,
Hamilton Heights, Southport
I loved this article. To the innocent bystander I must have sounded like Herbal Essence ad - yes, yes, ... YES!
Every paragraph resonated and I wanted to share it with as many people as I could.
I love our local, tucked away deli's, shops and cafes. And dammit its about time we talked openly about it.
There's so much in Adelaide's burbs, people just need get off their fat arse and join in. My latest find is the Hawker Street Cafe, now open on Sundays for breakfast. The guys there are there for the love of the place and you instantly feel like you are loved just by being there too. There is something contagious about their energy and fun, you get more than just a good coffee and brekky. And that's the point of your article, its not just about what your buying, its about what you're helping to create.
Its a bit like that 80's song "we built this city on rock'n roll" only perhaps better!
Thanks for the article and keep it comin'.
Thanks for the compliments everyone!
great words
hehehe, yeah wicked artical mr Josh. nice to see ya name on an editorial again
I live in the burbs, and am fortunate to live across the road from a deli! Its a hundred metres from any main road, so, it IS in literally in the heart of the suburbs. They are open 12 hours a day, and are friendly as. They get me rolling tobacco, papers, dry, tonic, soda, free range eggs, bacon from the bone, cheese, fresh bread, shapes and energy drinks. Its rediculously handy. they even do my dry cleaning next day. I support that deli as much as possible. The beauty is, the lazier i am, the more turnover they get from me. It's a beautiful thing
Awesome article.
I've been thinking a lot about the "vote with your wallet" metaphor, and have been attempting to do so for some time now.
I've also been thinking about it with a tax metaphor - that is, the government could take a higher percentage of your income and spend it on shaping this city how they see fit, but instead it's left up to the general populace to distribute funds and ensure good [local] ideas succeed.
Unfortunately, not a lot of people realise this, and it's hard to convince people to walk further and pay more just to support a local.
Thanks Pen, it's something we're really passionate about at Merge. There IS so much potential but like any "stored energy" it needs a trigger to be released. We believe that trigger is your coin.
People often criticize our age-group for spending frivolously and not saving but there's an alternative view on that. If we spend wisely and develop relationships with the places where we spend our coin then we are actually investing in our future. People move for jobs in Melbourne because... people spend more money in Melbourne. Simplistic I know but, it's the only difference.
Be conscientious about where you spend your coin and it will find its way back to your pocket.
