Maybe if your local paper wasn't constantly printing xenophobic rants from a racist crank, you'd have a better shot at those new businesses. Maybe Randy Kehr should go talk to someone at the Fishwrap about that.  :rofl:

That racist crank is just the tip of the iceberg, the most "articulate" of the mob.

The fascists refuse to print my input.

The predictable iceberg below with all its borrowed euphemisms, fake idealism, sandbox social skills, loud Pavlovian bark, thread ending vulgar insults. A pure essence of Troll.

A hiatus did some good. More folks here should try it. Make room for fresh discussion. This forum is starving of oxygen. Linear, despite the efforts of a few suggesting new paths.

Counterfeit Fake posted an excellent comment, something beyond caveman intellect, doomed as a target of trolls and e-bots, their unrelenting efforts to lower the discussion bar to that of slime mold.

^^must have took you days to look up all those big words :notworthy:

Cruz rose to the occasion with hard work and an organization that will put stroke lady's to shame. Cruz's average donation is running in the the $50-$70 dollar range.

Good to see you back Twink, makes me all warm and fuzzy inside :rofl:

Today's word is:

vo·cab·u·lar·y...  It's a BIG scary word. It has FIVE syllables. It means "the body of words used in a particular language." Or it can mean "the body of words known to an individual." See, now big words aren't so scary once you know their meaning.  Enough, though, of all those big scary words.

Let's go over yesterday's lesson.

Run.  See Dick run.  Run, Dick, run.

Good! Tomorrows big scary word will be "ineptitude".

The root word being inept, the dictionary even has your photo next to it. : :blush:

It is good that you're back, your lapdog's posts were getting weaker than normal and few and far between. Now Butt-o' tail is wagging and his nose is brown...ummm, I mean wet! :blush:

The problem goes back to when Paul Sparks was city manager.  He seemed to steer businesses away from Albert Lea as his goal seemed to be to convert our city to some kind of retirement community like Sun City, Arizona.  Well we're in the wrong part of the country to be a retirement community (unless global warming hurries up and changes our climate!).  Albert Lea is in what should be a prime location for businesses with the 2 intersecting interstate highways, but we keep watching businesses avoiding us.  Now we're spending money on all these little beuatification projects some how thinking that these will attract businesses.  Putting a pretty ribbon on a trash can dosen't change the trash can!  We need to invest money on attracting new employers to our city, then worry about the beuatification work.  A long time ago we were the second smallest city with 2 intersecting interstates, the smallest being Sheridan, Wyoming.  Today we are the smallest because thanks to good city management Sheridan, WY is now bigger than us.

Imagine a medium sized high tech entrepreneur moving their business to AL. Then imagine the skilled workers in their free time attempting to find some culture and entertainment in this area. Sixty miles to Rochester, hundred miles to cities.

Owatonna has plenty of industry but no culture there either. Towns as such have become outsourcing outlets from the Steel Belt seeking cheaper labor.
