Good for one's economy
If you've ever doubted that Barack Obama's presence in this year's election has made an impact, walk into Wayne Nelson's clothing shop on Lincoln Avenue in Altadena.
It's wall-to-wall Obama shirts, pins, hats and bumper stickers. And it's all selling like hotcakes these days.
It's been a long time since a candidate has generated such excitement -- so much so that the likeness of that candidate and the depiction of a message is a source of business.
Nelson said something that indeed rang true.
Whether you were for or against Obama, he's been good for at least one person's economy -- Nelson's.
