V. Kolbenschlag: 'Customer Only Park' signs invite buyers Vonnie Kolbenschlag writes: I want to thank Marsha for the follow up of my suggestion for 'customer only' signs. (I did not ask her to do this and did not even know she read my suggestion.) She speaks with first hand knowledge about the importance of customers to a business. I do not own a shop, but I am a customer and I know the frustration some businesses have expressed. Here are some reasons I have gathered for having 'customer only parking'.Comments re article 98248 Marsha Walker Endorsement for saving parking for customers 2018-07-04 14:07:47 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Commentary

Marsha Walker: Endorsement for saving parking for customers Marsha Walker writes: My mother was a merchant on or just off the square for 20 years. Back then we did not have the nice lot the Baptist Church created. She DARED anyone working for her to park on the square or on Burkesville Street. Those spaces were for her customers, and there were many of them. I believe that contributed to her success. --Marsha WalkerComments re article 97569 V Kolbenschlag Parking spaces should be for customers only 2018-07-04 11:44:09 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Mystery # 79558 - UFO could be a helium balloon, maybe? By Linda Waggener Billy Joe, I believe the UFO in your photo is a black helium balloon, probably one of those "Lordy, Lordy someone just turned 40" black balloons, deflating as it rises and floats on the breeze. The possibility it is floating may explain the slight fuzziness of the object. That's my guess.
