Lincoln Daily News
welcomes letters of appreciation, information and
opinion on matters pertaining to the community.
Controversial issues:
As a
community we need to be able to talk openly about
matters that affect the quality of our lives. The
most effective and least offensive manner to get
your point across is to stick to the issue
and refrain from commenting on another person's
opinion. Letters that deviate from focusing on the
issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

(The following letter is in response to the LDN Perspectives article
"Pennies make a difference in local economy.") To the editor:
A response to the article about shopping locally
I totally agree with spending in Logan County, but you can’t do
it if there is nowhere to go.
I work downtown on Sundays at a local establishment, and every
time I work there are strangers from out of town roaming around but
come in frustrated ’cause there is nowhere to eat or shop.
Everything is closed on Sundays. Open the town up on Sundays. People
think it’s a ghost town on Sundays. Except for bars there is nothing
else open.
Wal-Mart. Clothing is terrible for women, so we have to go out of
town. We need another store like a Shopko or a Target or something
else to compete with the almighty Wal-Mart.
[to top of second
column in this letter] |
We need more food places. People have to go out of town to get
something different to eat other than fast food or Bonanza.
Hopefully a new mayor will be more interactive in getting
businesses and development in the area so we all can start staying
in town.
My biggest suggestion would be to open up the downtown more on
Sundays. You will get people to come.
