Walking down 2nd Ave. East is more and more depressing as empty storefronts stare back at me. Meanwhile too many small business owners in the area that I have talked to talk about closing or reducing staff as they just can't make a go of it anymore.
I'm not any kind of expert in any kind of area. I've got some skills and I try to share them and make my way through the world, but I am very much NOT an expert in community development, business, politics or the grand social plan.
I am NOT an expert. These are just my opinions.
I am just a concerned citizen of our community and of the world. I see people suffering, businesses closing their doors, people barely scratching by and a downtown core that has been left to wither.
After much discussion and bitching about the state of things and everyone basically taking no ownership and no solution. I decided I needed to do something.
The only thing I could think of was to write this. Take what you can from it. I hope together we can make changes for the better.
I have to believe that if all of us try together we can make positive changes in our community!
Thanks for listening!
