I don't believe that expanding their business is going to keep them open any longer than what they would have with the smaller store. With the prices they charge and their food being Sucky they wont stay in here long anyway. I think this is only going to make more problems at this intersection than what it is worth.

Jeannie Kerswill, Shinglehouse said...: It is sad that it's gone. It was one of the oldest places in town. I can remember being small enough to sit on the sawdust bowling machine and thinking it was the greatest thing in the world. We never appreciate whats there until it's gone.; Monday, February 18, 2013 at 5:54:00 PM EST

Don't forget that the building was built with profits in mind from the begining. Its not like the architecture was unique or special in any way. It was built for a profit and the owners got a profit, i hope. Congradulations.; Monday, February 18, 2013 at 6:46:00 PM EST

Acorn beat you to the punch and I think if the owner can no longer carry the load she has every right to sell it at the best offer that arises!! Prayers to the owner and in hopes she pulls through her illness!!!; Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 11:48:00 AM EST
Laurie Anderson said...: Sold for greed? I, too, once owned this property. I can say as a past owner that everyone who owned the property took the risk of buying it with the intention of making a profit. People don't buy businesses to fail or not make money. I congratulate Dave and Toni for making a great investment and selling at a profit.; Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 12:47:00 PM EST
