Star Market Closing

fatlazyless · 02-07-2009, 09:39 AM

There's plenty unemployed guys in Meredith so turning Meredith into a big-box retail Mecca would not be a bad thing. In the month of February 2009, the United States employment scene will have, for the first time ever, more woman than men, being employed. Recent terminations in construction and manufactoring have eliminated more men, than women, and women employed is hovering at 50% and rising. Men, employed, is hovering at 50%, and going down!

".....hello....will that be paper, or plastic?"......ok.....gotta practice that line a few more times....

you have made my day Michael. I do hope MB comes to town. The jackson space seems a little small unless they take over adjoining space

Although I'm sure progress can't be stopped, our exit off 93 is #23, and I would hate if one day we get off and it looks like exit #20.
Although there is an awful lot of open land still there.
It's just that getting off the highway, and seeing a Home Depot/Best Buy/99 etc.,...somehow wouldn't have that "get away" feeling. It would seem like everyday life.
Maybe I'm stretching a bit here?

I would have to agree with SA,I to use exit 23 to get to the lake and don't want to see it turn into the same appearance as #20. They say that is progress but for over 30 yrs of going to the big lake it doesn't IMHO look like progress. I do hope MB does come in I use them at home and love the selction and prices.

Does everyone feel, we should wait until the Town of New Hampton approves all of the changes you DO NOT want to see, and then complain about it to everyone that cannot make a difference (after the Fact ), like the person in the Laconia Sun who complained about why there is no seat belts in school buses, This should have been addressed BEFORE the accident, not AFTER! You are in the same position but you can call or e-mail the TOWN OF NEW HAMPTON, and express your feelings before the FACT, not AFTER! If you do not want to see Exit 23 turn in something like Exit 20 did, NOW IS THE TIME TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I am a Taxpayer in New Hampton, and I vote againest large growth every chance I get. Speak up now !!

There are more women than men in the US, so having more women employed isn't the tragedy you make it out to be.

The unemployment rate for women is equal to that of men. And rising.

And there have been more women in the workforce for some time.

Now all we have to do is get equal pay for the same jobs

This year, 2009, will be the first year ever in US history where women will make up the majority, more than 50%, of the work force. That is an amazing statistic, and should not be discounted. In 1965, it was men 70%, women 30%, and the change started to accelerate in the 1980s to present. Women tend to have more jobs in health care and education, which have not seen the downturn of male oriented construction and manufactoring.

Locally, the Freudenburg-NOK auto parts maker with 130 employees, on the Gilford-Laconia line will probably close up soon. Mostly, men work there.
........
Fronting Route 104 in New Hampton, within one mile of the Meredith line, there's two parcels of land for sale. Priced low: 6 acres/$70,000, and ten acres/$100,000. That seems pretty low for commercial land.

MichealC, You have hammered my point about the JS location to the tee. MB only moves in if they can own it all and it would not suprise me to see that store go in. My thought on that original post was to give all the fans of MB around the lake as to how they operate. MB's real estate value far exceeds the value of the retail chain. I would be surprised to see them select that site just for how far off the path it is for the north country, seeing that Tilton has not bloomed as they had planned upon opening and that was one of the target areas for that location, it is getting there but it is taking a while. Micheal what store are you in, or.... are you supervision.
