Yes, they need to stand behind their zoning. They beat out Wally World
(WalMart). I hardly think a Dollar General is necessary. I can point out
where a Dollar General, a Family Dollar and Dollar Tree are located and I
don't even live here. We don't need another friggin dollar store. I
complain sometimes about having to go so far to shop for groceries. But I
don't want this place turned into another metropolis. It's peaceful here.
It's quiet here. There's little crime here. Bring in the malls and the
fast food restaurants and BOOM the next thing you know this is not a nice
quiet area.
