Still doesn't bother me because any business looks at the population, income and other demographic information when considering opening up shop somewhere, and I like our now somewhat rural area.

Yes, there is some justification for the complaint. But seldom I go outside PG to buy things. I do like exploring different places and don't have to have everything down the street from me. But I don't have to shop at Nordstrom's or Saks either. I like Macy's and it's here. I can shop online and find a free shipping deal. I can cool it on the shopping b/c these economic times are tough (which is what I do now). But I also try to spend my money here as much as I can for the basics.

I've found the big box stores in PG to be very small.
Both Macy's and Best Buy at BTC are tiny...very limited selection. |

And, if I can open a packet of meat and sniff it while still in the store, I would have a better idea about freshness. I don't think the store would want me doing that. And it's hard to sniff wrapped meat.
Veering a tad off-topic, aren't we?  |
I guess you had bad luck, but they must be doing something right, if they're taking business from Giant and Safeway. |

Rosaryville is considered part of the unincorporated part of UM. I used to live in that area. Overall nice and quiet, with a lot of trees still left. A few rowdy folks in the surrounding neighborhood, but a murder there is very surprising. I don't know what the heck is going on. |

NBC4 reported two days ago that in Jack Johnson's state of the economy address, there will be a 100+ mil deficit, and he plans on cutting the police force.
