Building Strong Local Living Economies Building Strong Local Living Economies By Judy Wicks [Editor's Note: Judy Wicks, owner of Philadelphia's popular White Dog Cafe and founder of Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE), spoke at Cooley Dickinson Hospital, in Northampton, Massachusetts, May 13, 2004.
