<div>I understand the suspicion. I guess I didn't explain myself well, and got things off very poorly.</div> <div> </div> <div>All I was attempting to say with my initial post was that felt the Kirker businesses have leant a bit of class to downtown Moscow that was missing 10 years ago or so. I think that the existance of the Kirk has helped rally those who are not sympathetic to them. And I think it helped create opportunities for new, non Kirk businesses.</div> <div> </div> <div>I think that Moscow often gets very tunnel-visioned. I'm glad to see that Moscow's downtown is filling up with nice stores. I'm not some Nazi sympathizer saying Hitler's ok 'cause the trains run on time, but I really think a nice shop is a nice shop no matter who owns it. And if it provokes a non-Kirker to open ANOTHER nice shop nearby, even better.</div> <div> </div> <div>Would we rather have some nice Kirker shops downtown that we'll never shop in, or a Super Wal-Mart we'll
never shop in?</div> <div> </div> <div>Penny<BR><BR><B><I>Joe Campbell <joekc@adelphia.net></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">Sorry, Penny, but the V can be rough!

There are lots of false accusations leveled toward us.
