And I'm pretty sure that if Lowes shut down, it'd just go back to being an abandoned empty lot like before, or maybe the Gilford Walmart would move over. I like options as much as the next guy, but I have to doubt this area could support having three major grocery stores within spitting distance of each other. |
Ford UAW union members just this week ratified a new 4 year contract that will create 12,000 new jobs to the US. Part of the agreement is to bring some of the manufacturing plants back to the US.
Damned unions!
