Some of us get our hackles up against people who constantly complain. We acknowledge that TV is not perfect but don't care to run every single thing into the ground. Sometimes it makes us respond with maybe what you should hear from an opposing view?

Perhaps my expectations are higher than others??? When they said that the Neighborhood Market was going to be a Walmart with just food, I'm thinking great! I expected it to be much like the other Walmart minus the other stuff. When I walk in a building that appears to be much smaller, isles narrow and choice limited I was let down. Am I happy it's here...heck yes but it will not serve the purpose I had expected it to serve.

As for my other negative comments, when I go into stores here and compare them with the same stores in different cities, we have the short end of the stick. They seem to build smaller versions of stores here. We have a growing population and are already overwhelmed with people in the winter. It just seems that the buildings are not sufficient for our growth. It's disappointing.

There's plenty I love about where I live and wouldn't change it. However, when I see things falling short, I voice my opinion. Everyone has an opinion. It's nobody's job to chastise me for doing so.
