Christie project gets city approval
Here are my thoughts. Sutherlands products are not that great. most of its overpriced junk. Mark II is great. I go there for all that i can but they dont carry alot of the things that i need therefore i am always driving to a lowes in topeka or olathe. I know alot of people that do this. It would be best for emporia to have a lowes. Also i have tried purchasing from some of the places in emporia to help give back to the city but honestly i end up getting the run around from salesman when i try to buy things here they tend to try not to sell me anything. I'm so frustrated with most the local retail businesses in this town that ill drive somewhere else to spend my money now days. These businesses need to start returning phone calls and be nice to their customers to keep them coming back.

On the Other Side
I think that the people that want to be able to smoke in restaurants are the same people that you see driving around with a baby or kid in the back seat smoking. They dont care about anyone but themselves. You would think that people would care enough about their kids or kids in general to not want to smoke around them due to health affects in can have on them. PLUS the fact that it can be an influence on the kids. I dont care if im around smoke cause im used to it cause of friends and family but im not going to take my kids out someplace to eat dinner and let them be around smoking. The owners of these businesses dont realize how many more non-smokers there are out there that would be going to their bar if it was non smoking. Let the smokers go outside and light up. They can punish their own health all that they want but they should not be punishing the rest of us. Will the smokers be able to stop smoking long enough to go vote on this issue? I guess time will tell.
