Holy smoke! I just opened the NGAforum and it said "83 persons currently viewing" the Blue Ridge board. That has to be a record!
It has to be because of the recent postings about downtown merchants. This is one topic that has generated a lot of interest, concerns and creative criticism.
I hope the merchants don't view these comments as an attack, but rather as some genuine interest in making our area more desirable to both locals and tourist.
We want to support our local merchants and make them sucessful, but we need their help!

Sorry but I think enough has been said on the subject.
This is a good forum to exchange ideas and find out what's going on in BR. Also so far those participating seem to be very level headed and understanding.
I think most of important most truly care about Fannin .

We all care and we want to see them do good, maybe that is why this, has brought so much attention.

It's coming but it will be slow like everything else here & that's fine. We're all still reeling and adjusting to our new freedoms. All it takes is a few shops to get the snowball rolling and income-envy takes over. I'd guess that thread adjusted at least a few hours/days of business. Great thread!
