What have our local politicians done to promote better businesses? The same people get voted in every time, so same results.

The owners of Annandale Florists are RETIRING not going out of business. Garry has been working there since 1970 - I think he deserves to retire and enjoy his life. Not every story needs to be a vehicle for snarky or political comments.

Where is this recovery we have been promised? And what do we have to show for it but crushing debt? Looking more like a double dip recession. Hello thrift shops, title companies, and Karaoke joints with dark glass behind which who knows what goes on.

The old Joes at Baileys Crossroads is a Titlemax. You don't want to see what some consider loan sharks moving in though. These folks did nice holiday displays in the windows.

I really don't want to see anymore Asian restaurants (not because I don't like Asians, I just think we have enough). I don't want to see any more banks (not because I don't like banks, I just think we have enough). What I would like to see is more small specialty shops like Del Ray. I don't think the business or political leadership in Annandale are forward thinking.
