Subject: good neighbors
Oi! I agree with Eric Shook on the way people are behaving on this list.
The folks that are posting vitriol on the list are forgetting what it is to be good neighbors. A little gentle correction and a “I politely disagree..” can go a lot further than this weird need to make caricatures out of each other and draw up sides to every little thing.
Melissa is a really kind lady when I have talked to her, Lyle and Matt work like crazy for what they think is best for the town. Antonella’s gives the best haircuts in town. Virlie’s has great BLT’s, I love the soda Shoppe. The General store and City Tap have great music and nice people work in every single store in this town…. but for some reason we let ourselves get dragged around by the extremes. I hope everyone will stop posting about this for a little while and those that are giving the PLENTY a shot, go for it. Those who aren’t interested that is fine too. I’ll see you at the Marketplace for a latte or at Andy’s for a malt… either way. This is a great town.
