January 7th, 2010 · No Comments

It was quiet on the Med Mart front for a while; last we heard there was arguing over the change in plans from MMPI regarding where it would be located.  I liked the first site choice better all along.   I don’t think you have to be a staunch preservationist to not want Public Hall torn [...]
