Shop Wisely, Locally: Independent Stores in Your Zip Code

SICK OF THE BLASE offerings at oh-so-ordinary national chains like the Gap and Banana Republic? Kiss those khaki classics goodbye and hit up independent stores in your 'hood. But how can you find them?

Enter Locallectual.com. The Web site, recently launched by Charlottesville denizens Karen Beauford and Jessica Meehan, offers shoppers the opportunity to search online via ZIP code, city or state for a variety of consumer items that are just a hop, skip and a jump away. (Yea!) Some great D.C. finds included a vegan bakery and an organic skin care products store.
