Their delivery trucks go to Brookings, Huron, Mitchell and Watertown, so Madison is a natural stop, but it won't be full WalMart so local stores can still flourish.

Pamida would close immediately and probably Lewis. I wrote a letter to HyVee begging them to come a couple years but they said they have many expansion plans not including Madison. Personally I think we need a better grocery store before other things. A main street development program could encourage some specialty shops and help round out our retail needs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-43626870406702632572009-04-15T16:09:00.000-06:002009-04-15T16:09:00.000-06:00I'll get stoned for this suggestion, but how about...I'll get stoned for this suggestion, but how about allowing a Walmart to come to town?

We need to strengthen our downtown with renovation, parking and safety issues and prepare it for decades of future growth. Although many young people have left our community, those who have stayed have a vested interest in seeing Madison grow and flourish for future generations. We know what Madison needs, but do those in power have the gumption to push toward those goals?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-22185037598479801892009-04-15T07:54:00.000-06:002009-04-15T07:54:00.000-06:00Sell my house, give up a huge garden and view of t...Sell my house, give up a huge garden and view of the lake, pay city rates for building permit and utilities...

You could sell your house, move to town, and run for city commission. With that big burr under your saddle about the LAIC you could win and change the world. Or could you? Heck I will sign your petition. Ok, there is your challenge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
