The Gazette offers audio versions of articles using Instaread. Some words may be mispronounced.
It seems like weekly we are seeing a restaurant/family business closing for one reason or another. It's also common to go on Facebook and see a poor review of a restaurant for bad service, etc. with everyone jumping on board to crucify them.
At what point, as a community/city can we take a step back and see that our local businesses are STRUGGLING? Instead of articles talking about a business closing due to prices, staffing, etc., can we write an article weekly about a local business? Let businesses spotlight their specialty.
The only way we can help better our city, is to help keep the money local, and help those who are busting their butts every single day to make yours better.
