something from the local media about the town being &#8220;anti-business.&#8221;
That&#8217;s a hard moniker to shake, even if untrue in spirit.</span></font></p>

that might benefit their business than to expect it to be legislated from an
angry mob of neighbors. In the town&#8217;s recent history, the Pete and his
family have done more to brighten the place up than anyone else, putting money

knee-jerk reaction to real and potential investment in the town that usually
ends up in insults, finger-pointing, and side-picking. That is the ultimate
reason why so much of the town&#8217;s historic business districts remain empty
or underdeveloped, even after having 4 different sets of professional redevelopment
planning meetings, visions, and reports undertaken for the area since 1987. </span></font></p>

ideas and suggestions to help Pete get what he was asking for in the first

down.&nbsp; Please fill free to move closer to those establishment's that meet
your standards and have the support of it's citizen's in making improvement's
because Pete tried to do the same thing in Riverdale and was not successful but
as long as Dumm's Corner operates in Riverdale, they can count on my business.&nbsp;
I could care less about what's on the window, it's the service, great food and
