Brent Fox brings up a good point about our mall.
However, he does not mention that for the past several years, citizens have not shopped locally for items. So many times we have all wanted to go to the bigger malls or the Wal-Marts.
Money has been contributed to other cities’ economies, and ours has suffered — we are all to blame. It’s the same with our jobs — when we decide to buy products that are made out of this country we are only hurting ourselves.
Of course, NAFTA has not helped our country either. We each need to buy American-made products, plus shop at our local stores — including Signal Hill Mall and our uptown area stores.
Money that stays in our community will help our community to grow. We have a beautiful uptown with lots of friendly merchants.
Additionally, one of our local merchants has decided to close because of recent armed robberies. Don Ledbetter of the Gas -N- Go — also known as the Spur Station — decided to close up because of low-life criminals. That is a complete shame; the Spur Station has been part of our community for years, and I for one, hate to see it closed.
I hope Don changes his mind. If anyone has information regarding the robbery please call the police department as soon as you can, we are all affected by this crime.
