Response to: Leave hard-working business owners alone
Michelle Williams, I am sorry that you are unable to understand what I wrote about in reference to Lusby's Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robins retail outlet.
I wrote about laws, regulations and ordinances that are in place for a reason and must be abided by all. When the Cooler/walk-in Freezer unit was attached, it protruded above the brick wall that was built to hide such things as this and the large waste receptacles, small delivery trucks, etc.
Beautification of Commercial Retail Centers is a most for our small towns. We do not have to be big to look nice anymore.
What I wrote about, is not saying I have something against the business owners involved with this problem. I do not know this young couple with 2 young children that are your friends and you refer to as the new owners of the business involved.
I wrote about the right and wrong way of doing things. I wrote about the developer and how he has handled this entire project.
He is the one with deep pockets. Look at what he did with your Parkway and how he made changes that gave him more commercial property then the original plans called for.
Did you read the "Ethics Report" about it???
That was what I was talking about when I mentioned the snakes in the wood pile.
Whether a business owner is new to business, young, old, with or without children, nor the size of business, has nothing to do with anything that is happening here.
Going into business, as anyone knows or should realize, is a risk. Many of these risks can be unknowns and just pop up out of nowhere. That is why you need legal help when taking on a business, new or otherwise.
Michelle Williams, I have never met Mr. Art Carson. Do I know him? No. I have spoke to him on the telephone, conversed with him via the Internet email and snail mail. I have talked with many people that know him, know of him and have a lot of respect for this gentleman. I hope to have an opportunity of meeting this man as we do think alike about many things.
Mr. Carson, “reference to your letter to the editor”, is just doing his job. Mr. Carson is protecting himself, his reputation and his client.
Can you blame a person for that? NO. If you or your friend was a client of his, chances are things of this nature would have been handled before it became a problem.
Michelle Williams, I don't want to come off as being sarcastic toward you or anyone else, but I would ask that you become more knowledgeable about any given subject before you write about it. I also sincerely respect your feelings and (standing up for) your friends and their family. That's what friends are for.
Hopefully, I have made myself clear and understandable. I hold nothing against you for writing your letter to the editor as I understand your feelings and I hope we can become friends.
Lusby is a very nice place to live. So is Dares Beach, and much smaller and even more quieter, which I enjoy to the fullest. Have a good day.
