RE: the above photo, in the article, of the sign attached to the utility pole:
(1) I thought it was illegal to attach signs to utility poles
(2) In order to post signs for an election, don't you need some kind of permit and then a logo of some sort designating this on the sign?
I'm basing this on what I've heard over the years - maybe wrong.

I recall the owner of the driving range saying he had to switch to low tragectory range balls due to complaints from the rear neighbors over balls getting through the tall fence. Installing a smaller grid fence was cost prohibitive. The range was there when residents moved in. So they got their way; he's gone. Be careful what you ask for.

Before Rini's/Stop-N-Shop (Giant Eagle now) and Topp's (Heinen's now) moved to their Route 82 locations, how did we ever manage with 3 grocery stores on Pearl Rd? Well, we did and the stores were not empty.
Some may not know, but 2 of those stores were at one time south of 82 before any part of Pearl there was widened. And, at both stores they had delivery trucks, and homes behind with no fancy barriers, only a fence. We also had an IGA store in town until recently. So, for all those people who wonder who will shop at the new store, where's the population to support it, just look back before those 3 stores moved over to 82. I sure miss a grocery store being close. I look forward to this new store being only 2 streets away. I do not want to have to deal with mall traffic to go grocery shopping.

what I find odd is people complain that they have to pay taxes to support the schools... then a company wants to build a store and asks for no tax breaks which the revenue will support the schools.... also which will bring in construction jobs as well as materials purchased from all area businesses.... not to mention many companies that im sure will be fighting over the chance to move into the old location so close to the mall.....and the reasons too many gas stations on pearl ???? in strongsville on pearl road there is 1 gas station in 5 miles between whitney and boston...oh thats right the CLAIM of too much noise (no proof) or the CLAIM of too much traffic (also no proof)

I think I have inadvertently put myself in the middle of this debate, and for that I am sorry. I will no longer monopolize these threads with my opinions as it appears they have now have fallen on deaf ears. Its like trying to explain to a child why they can't have that candy and that vegetables are better for them.
The way I see it, I am happy that we will probably have a Giant Eagle there - either 110,000 sq ft outstanding, unique store, with a nice barrier behind OR a 92,000 sq ft nice store with no barrier behind (info based on all I've been reading). Either way, we will again have a much needed grocery store moved from the mall to this location, with no adverse effects on traffic - as past history shows (as at one time we had 2 grocery stores on this end of Pearl). Since I miss Rini's being in the Big Lots location, I will welcome GE because it is almost right next to where the grocery store use to be.
Bye, for now, Lyn
