Amazon may have built a complex in Seattle, but nothing they're doing is likely to support businesses in Miami.<br /><br />Erik and I put down our beers, muttered how the internet kind of sucks, and then moved on to more pleasant subjects.rastronomicalshttp://lahistoriadelamusicarock.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269925294673930988.post-17200456546450561892011-07-28T20:04:01.281-07:002011-07-28T20:04:01.281-07:00I may persuaded to shop at Amazon.
