Subject: Walmart in Chatham County

What a very thoughtful post from Ellen Pearson, re. making Walmart more a more responsible corporate citizen! It made think of the last time I was in Costco in Durham. They actually had Cackalacky sauce (a local product, out of Chapel Hill) for sale!

So, I would definitely agree with the point “Would you like certain products to be available to compensate for the excess traffic, the loss of local businesses, the loss of property values?  Tell Walmart what you think.”  And vote with your feet.

Subject: Boo-hoo, development ruins everyone’s life.

I hate to have to say this in a public forum, but everyone who goes to such great lengths to complain about Walmart being built really needs to grow up. Everyone today wants convenience but no one wants to trade anything for it, and you can’t have it both ways. On one extreme I hear people who are so progress-fearing that they probably should be in a field with no electricity or telephone or Internet, and on the other…well, I don’t see many people who advocate for a concrete jungle, honestly.  Then we have the fools who try to play a moral supremacy card and talk about how everything we buy should be heavily researched so we don’t fund sweatshops and “unfairly traded” goods.

Subject: A sad day for N. Chatham

It’s not surprising that Wal Mart waited until they got the commissioners they wanted.

Subject: Thanks to the lady in post office at Pope’s Tru Value

Late Friday afternoon I went into the post office with a big box to mail and toddler in tow. I had scraped together some cash and stamps to send the box, but when I got to the counter I was still short.

Dismayed, I went back out to the car and looked for some more money/stamps, and went back inside. Another customer (who had also been there the whole time working on her own mailing) asked me if I had found what I needed, and I said, “It’s going to be close” (but knowing I probably didn’t).

Subject: body shop – Elite Auto Body

A few years ago I was in a serious accident.  Elite Auto Body fixed my car very well.  I even had a repair report done on the vehicle to estimate the post-repair value of the car and the person said that was the best repair he had ever seen.  I use Elite for all my scuff ups now.  the owner is super nice and will try to work with you if he can.
