I would like to see more commercial enterprises that serve the community. Diversity. Which businesses open up is not under our control. The community tries to support our businesses, I know I do. I was really sad when the hardware store closed. I would hate to lose those kinds of things. I patronize the restaurants.

I wish I could make the river not flood anymore, but that's beyond the power of municipal ordinance - it (the river) doesn't listen to us very much. I love the river. I walk out my front door and see it - it has an allure and attraction to it. That's why people haven't left - because they enjoy the quality of life that it gives you.
