Susan - I agree in principle, especially about poor business planning and research. One goodRead More example: did anyone seriously think that a fancy tea house was a good long-term business model for our middle- to lower-middle class area? As far as the people of Powder Springs shopping at businesses on the Square more than once a year - can you name a single business on the Square that has a business model that encourages frequent visits - including yours? I can only really think of five retail-focused businesses on the square off the top of my head: The antique shop, the flower shop, your book store, the hair salon, and that awful Mexican restaurant. Other than the restaurant, those are not businesses that bring people back to the area frequently, and I don't even think the restaurant is open for dinner any more. There's one other big issue to consider, though, especially for retail businesses such as yours: Drive-by traffic, or the lack thereof. The larger shopping district on Sailors Parkway gets ten times the drive-by traffic that the Square does, and for good reason - I don't think many people would voluntarily choose to drive through a notorious speed trap with a 25MPH speed limit and an at-grade railroad crossing when there's a 45MPH four-lane divided highway a half-mile away.
Randy June 18, 2013 at 09:55 pm
Susan. The fact this post is sad is why I started the post. I love your bookstore but I can say IRead More would visit more if I could say eat at a nice restuarant on the square. Have a cup of coffee at a coffee house then walk hand in hand with my wife down the pretty sidewalks and purchase a book on the city's history. End the evening with an ice cream at a shop next door to you. Then ride a trolley down to powder springs ball park where the council and mayor worked out free parking after 5 pm. If you look at my little dream above there were 3 businesses in addition to yours and a trolley who the nice gentleman driving makes great tips because he is making people feel good. AND all my money stayed in powder springs. Go see Smyrna downtown on any night. You can see almost everything I just dreamed.
Susan Smelser June 18, 2013 at 10:40 pm
Randy, I agree with all you have said and hope that more people will see this post and hear yourRead More words. Actually, I have a great pulse on the businesses downtown and there have been some viable shops that left only because lack of people walking in the door, and they tried. Even our coffee shop that we had in our store, The Barking Dog Coffee Shop. It has been closed over 5 years, yet people still remember how wonderful it was. The coffee, the owner, the "babycakes" and the great atmosphere. But stopping in once every 3 months to a year cannot afford someone to stay open on a $5 purchase.Even though we still hear it was their favorite place to go. We are doing well and are going into our 8th year and see no reason to leave but still hope we see more businesses open. Hand Me Ups has been open 25 years and they still have a great clientele and are not going anywhere. The Country Store of Seven Springs is gone and replaced by Kiwi Quilts and it is a great addition to our downtown. It may be a specialty shop that is not for everyone, but it serves a large audience and brings new customers to all of us. I would LOVE to see a restaurant open, the tea room re-opened and Jon, you may not be the target audience for them but they are so very missed by so many people. How about if we stay positive and work to promoting the good instead of bashing the city , THE TRUTH. I choose to keep my rose colored glasses on and seek solutions instead of calling out who is at fault.

Joel, the speech in front of the Woodrow Wilson Center is even more ironic and scary. Wilson was aRead More scary president because he jailed his political opponents for opposing the war after campaigning to keep us out of WWI. Also, his hatred of black Americans showed no humanity even after blacks voted overwhelmingly for him.
Ambo June 11, 2013 at 05:05 pm
This is exactly why I talk about my inflamed hemorrhoids on the phone every time I call someone! IRead More usually blame it on the IRS!
Marlene Mitchell June 13, 2013 at 06:49 pm
Pam J, Please don' t assume that Verizon is the only company.....it is everyone of them. VerizonRead More is the only one we have been told about. :(
CLUBFV June 6, 2013 at 04:42 pm
New cartoon show coming soon to a channel near you "NAMBLA Man" This superhero fightingRead More against all the evil powers that would deny him and his ilk of young male bodies.
EthelToffelmayer June 6, 2013 at 07:18 pm
And yet there has to be something that made you develop that opinion. I'm fascinated to hear whatRead More makes someone develop a personal belief that is so utterly reductive. The "anecodotal (sic) and opinion evidence (whatever that is...)" that created my belief is informed by empathy, compassion, understanding, and open-mindedness. What have you got?
Christopher Straub June 13, 2013 at 09:08 pm
Might recheck history; this nation was founded on religious freedom. You write as if you haveRead More disdain for other faiths, such as the one Jesus was a part of - you might remember, it was Judaism. Thought that was in the Bible - all the iterations, even the politically re-written versions.
Joel Clark June 11, 2013 at 12:31 pm
Most people don't know that the Trident originally had no eagle on it until the Navy made it anRead More exclusive Seal emblem... as a UDT member from the EOD side it pi$$ed a lot of us off that it was taken away. Seals had buds, basic underwater demolition and we had studs, strategic tactics underwater demolition. Anyway, we should have a cup of coffee, I bet we swam some of the same waters. Nihil Obstat, brother..

Our youth are engaging in acts before their minds and bodies are ready for the acts.

@KJL: My have three children. It never ceased to amaze me the stories they would tell about friendsRead More having oral sex because "that isn't sex"- and about how young the friends were when they started. If information will help us to combat this problem then, yes, we should obtain it. For parents who think this will lead to your children thinking they are abnormal, think again. The fact that their friends are and they aren't already makes them feel that way. And if you think that this battle can be handled in the home, it should- and on every other front we can find.
exe May 24, 2013 at 05:12 pm
Frankly, I don't believe anyone NEEDS or has the RIGHT to expect a Bible or any religious book at aRead More state park. I go to enjoy the outdoors. Anyone who wants to bring their own religious text is free to do so. It is not right for the state parks to give the impression that they are in favor of certain religions and beliefs and not others.
stephen m george jr mpa May 24, 2013 at 05:43 pm
that book also explicitly states: "There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor aRead More SODOMITE of the sons of Israel," -Deuteronomy 23:17
Richard Pellegrino May 25, 2013 at 06:52 am
Stephen: Just because a text explicitly states something does that mean there is only one meaningRead More and interpretation of that verse or biblical text? For example the one you quoted have many different interpretations and meanings, most of which do not even indirectly relate to homosexuality. On another note...you seem to be a student of the Bible and ancient texts, as well as someone who is versed in many subjects. We have small group discussions on some of these topics, sometimes at my home, other friends' homes, and sometimes at coffee shops or other public places. And I often seek out those whose opinions or understandings may be different than mine to participate--not to debate whose opinion is right (though certainly some of that takes place) but to learn from each other and try to find some commonalities. If you think you might like to participate sometime feel free to contact me directly at pilgrim1@mindspring.com (and this goes for other bloggers too).

Look for all you obama supporters y'all need to shut up. There was a ton of evidence, speculationRead More and everything else showing this president and his administration were and are as crookex as a dogs hind leg. Y'all idiots voted him back in at least that what they say I'm still not sure it wasn't a rigged election you know the kinds they have in russia? If there was a picture of president obama snortin coke off the oval office desk and a whore under each arm and him toasting the leader of iran y'all would still worship this creep.
