<DIV><FONT face=Arial>why does Moscow need so many coffee shops?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>1. those shops do have customers. people are drawn
downtown to patronize those businesses, to the benefit of other businesses in
that area</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>2. those shops function as meeting places that offer
people a chance to interact and relate and in general form a
community</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>3. those shops pay taxes in a variety of ways (and offer
employment to their staff) to the benefit of all Moscow</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>4. those shops offer a venue for artists (exhibit space,
stages for musicians and poets, etc)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I don't drink coffee, but it is clear to me that those
coffee shops are a plus for Moscow....BL</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Keely,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am not confused by any matter. Thanks for the thought
though. I am quite capable of understanding things. Truly how bad
of an impact is building this mall and the James Toyota dealership going to be
on the water? It was my understanding that the study had already been
done and everything was in compliance. The amount of coffee shops in
downtown Moscow are ridiculous! Foot traffic? Big deal!
Tell me how having all of these cofee shops downtown benefit downtown
Moscow. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Essentially, the City of Moscow needs to take care of things in their own
front yard before barking and complaining about someone elses.</DIV>

just concerned -- and maybe confused about what our concerns are. Coffee shops
(and yes, there are a lot) don't impact the environment, particularly the
water supply, in the same way that huge retail complexes do. The coffee shops
downtown allow for a great deal of foot traffic, whereas not many people will
walk to the big boxes. And while I strongly supported the construction of a
new high school out on the Trail property northeast of town, it was because of
the enormous benefit to the community, a benefit that I don't see from
out-of-town retail behemoths. <BR> <BR>But welcome to the

2007 23:51:37 -0500 <BR> <BR>Keely, <BR> <BR>If Moscow
suffers economically from the impact, then it should fall on the shoulders of
the city council. They are the ones that do not want the new business'. And
besides, Whitman County is being smart.....they want to grow with the times
and they realize that by bringing these retail shops in, they are not only
keeping business local, they would have more jobs for their community, etc. Oh
yeah, but did I mention that Moscow hasn't kept out the coffee shops? If I
seem "bitter", it is because I would like to see Moscow grow as I live here
and I believe in my city and I shop locally. But when you can go down main
street and there are 8 places within a block that are either coffee shops or
they are restaurants that sell coffees, ie mocha's, lattee's, etc., it gets to
be a bit much. <BR> <BR>Anita

22:33:13 -0500 <BR> <BR>I feel that Kai has made a very valid point.
To some the hand shake may seam trivial, but I was always taught that making a
good first impression is very important. The politicians know when they step
into the political arena that they will be embarking on a long grueling
journey with long hours, bad food, and even bad breathe for that matter. To
make excuses as to why Brady had a limp hand shake is simply that....an
excuse. I have a hard time with politicians in general because I simply do not
believe a word they say. For example, tell me how many of the fine City of
Moscow city council members are acting on what they promised in their
campaigns? They were going to make Moscow even better. What, with a another
coffee shop downtown? Maybe instead of Mayor Chaney and the Moscow City
Council sticking their noses in the happenings of events going on accross the
border in Washington, perhaps they should keep their vision on what is better
for Moscow and go back to what! <BR> they promised us, the voters
during their campaigning
