It's not that change is necessary; it is in fact inevitable.

Keep up or get out of the way.

Wow. How kind you are. Get this. Irwin Marine told me it was rented and being renovated so, guess what, the building stay. I win. I hope we NEVER meet.

If you think you can actually "win," that is your delusion.

Whether or not we ever meet is of no significance.

The issue is that life is change.

Always was, always will be.

Things evolve.

You can deny it, and try to fight it, but in the end change always wins.

Without a proper marketing campaign will this store make it, What worked in the past.

Was it the boots and shoes ....... or the rubbers.

For the record .... not the same person as topwater just happen to have a very similar username.

Just to set the record straight.......Emerson's store is NOT the same as the busy corner store. Emersons was to the right of the busy corner store and was later called McGrath's before it burnt down. If photopost were up and running I would share older photos of both. Note that the Alton Bay Inn (now J P CHINA) (which is on the busy corner) is further up the hill.
