DECATUR -- Local businesses are being targeted, but in a god way. A group calling itself the "Cash Mob," is spending money at local shops and restaurants.

The whole idea started on Facebook, and now has more than 1,000 members. Saturday, the mob zeroed in on a wine shop. The owners say it's a great idea.

The mob picks a different place every Saturday. Members say it's a fun way to try new places in their hometown.
