    I think maybe you are taking them a little too seriously…

    They are clueless. It’s an issue of values and taste. Some people respect a tradition of a city’s hostory and these people obviously don’t. They may realize one day that their personalities are borrowed and may go out of style suddenly.

    Love how their idea of a closing Mom and Pops is a Blockbuster store on Court. Idiots. Go away.

    I love living in CG but can’t stand the NIMBY attitude I find on these blogs. Reading your complaints, a lot of you really belong in the suburbs. Go there and be happy.
