I'm happy we were able to compromise with the city and our neighbors. We didn't want anyone to be offended.

If all goes well we would like to open up as soon as possible. It's been a long time coming. We just want to give back to our town. I hope we can be a positive influence.

Frankly, I'm not sure I can succeed in this location without a drive-up window to service commuters.

Our hearts are with the troops. These are our sons and daughters and neighbors and associates. We have a deep commitment to supporting our troops and understand how critical it is for them to understand that we support them, that they are not forgotten and that their service and sacrifice are deeply appreciated.

. . . I saw people willing to compromise themselves, or change themselves, to acquire what they thought was important. I don't judge what other people do, many choices that may be right for others are definitely not right for me.

We are not downhearted, but we cannot understand what is happening to our neighbors.
