Look at the good side

First, all we read is about Wal-mart. Now it's the (This) Old Farm. Personally, I think it's wonderful that Rademachers were able to make the deal to obtain Paul Bunyan and I hope them great success. I bet that when the Northern Pacific came to town the residents were very happy. I'm sure today some would be against it because they blew a whistle at 6 o'clock in the morning. I recall when J.C. Penney, Montgomery Ward and Scott's store came to town the people were elated and it was considered progress -- why can't we look at things today the same way?
