Orlando,
I see people walking on South ave now all the time, I travel that road a few times a day. I myself have now started to use the new sidewalks. South Ave does have a sidewalk on the south side of the street but It stops near the park. Maybe they will improve the sidewalks of which you speak too. I just don't understand why people complain about improvements on this side of town. It's an improvement for EMPORIA. The south and east side residents have few options for safe recreation. The north side has better sidewalks and even has a fitness trail they can utilize. Stop hating. Be happy it is an improvement for somebody.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to jump on a soap box. I would like to clarify that I think it's great that the city came up with a master plan to "connect the city" with these sidewalks all over town which will connect parks and communities, and NOT just on one particular side of town. :)

Did anyone ever stop to think that there hasn't been much foot traffic along south avenue because there hasn't been adequate sidewalk to walk on? There is no reason why the city cannot improve sidewalks on this side of town. The people who reside on the south and east side of town would like to see the larger sidewalks installed. Why must everything be available to only the "richer side of town"? As a tax paying resident who lives on this side of town, I have to say, I am very glad the city did invest in some improvement on this road. Anyone who has tried to walk south ave out of recreation or necessity can tell you, it was simply unsafe. I have heard from many neighbors and friends that they are equally delighted. Good job city!

what are you talking about? You yourself do not stand up for the human rights of everybody! What about when you walk around with derrogatory comments about homosexuals on your t-shirts. You call people who have not served in armed forces cowards on another t-shirt you sport around town. You are very vocal with store clerks insisting they not "make human contact with you" due to disrespect of this town! What does that mean anyway?
I guess my point is... I'm not sure you're the best person to stand on a soap box about standing up for human rights when you are so vocal about tearing certain groups of people down. Those people you are against deserve their human rights protected too.

Dillons has a donation cart for the Salvation Army food pantry. It's at the front of the store. I've noticed it's been there for about 3 weeks. They mentioned that after hearing on the radio that the food pantry is running low they jumped into action and set up a cart. I thought that was a pretty cool thing to do.
