PEOPLE OF OLATHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


IT IS JUST A GROCERY STORE! Why does the closing of a grocery store require the newspaper to cover it? "Empty Shelves, Empty Hearts" are you kidding me? The best part of this story is that the employees and customers formed a human chain and that the loss of the store was "tragic".

Anyone that has driven through Olathe recently knows that the city faces bigger problems than a grocery store closing. I am not talking about the new shiny part of Olathe, I am talking West Olathe. While Olathe has done an excellent job expanding to the 119th street area the city planner must close his eyes when he drives to & from work because the area from the courthouse East to the highway is in need of help.

It is good to see that the people upset about the closing of the Dillons have their eye on the ball.
