The Emporia Gazette

Tyson: two days later

10 years ago I moved on, but I didn't forget my "little hometown". I love going back to visit, I love going to see my family and friends. I love that it takes me 10min to get to one end of town to the other and not the 1.5hour that it takes me now. People can make a good living in Emporia. Just because you moved on to a bigger supposably "better" town doesn't make Emporia a dying town, or an ugly in ruins town.

I know things are not the same as they were before & it will take awhile for Emporia to get back on its feet. And I hope they do!

So from an earlier post: " Fine, if you have moved on then MOVE ON!" especially if all you have to say is negative!

If you have nothing nice to say, then don't say anything at all. Stop reading about Emporia or commenting about it.

The people of Emporia already have so much to deal with, they don't need the negative comments.

Tyson will eliminate slaughter in Emporia

I go back to visit my family & friends that are still there. Tyson is gone - families will have to move. Business will have to close due to lack of families/people in town. There will be no one visiting, so who cares about that Emporia now smells like roses. When I drive in, that smell TO ME MEANS I AM HOME! :)
