We want to find out what we can do. As individuals, as a community, as an area.

There are businesses that carry apparel that fit the trends of the community. There are grocery stores with products that fit the style of cooking. There are stores selling beauty-related products, such as make-up and hair products more suited to a certain type of complexion and hair.

Does that (the name Boone County Hospital) really reflect what we do? Is that what the community wants?.

They need to be aware. It affects them more than the rest of the community.

Every time this (dumping) occurs, it prevents us from providing needed services to the community.

We're being a partner, a community partner, and we're trying to move our business along with everything that's happening downtown. We are doing our part.
