beyond my understanding. Just why is C-Span giving FOX more airtime?

Grocery stores are at the top of my list of getting on my nerves and emptying my wallet. We have only two major chains in this area - one foreign owned by Royal Dutch Ahold. The other is Giant Eagle from Pittsburgh. GE has now closed the second of two stores that were closest to my home. They built a new store which I checked out for the first time last week. The new store has a pharmacy, a bank, a drycleaner, a florist, a deli with seating, a photo lab, a drugstore, a card shop and a promised gas station. I don't need all that.

This store was built on the Pete Boris landfill, a garbage dump. It is in full sun with no trees with high winds. The cost to cool and heat the huge new store will be enormous.

I just want my old store back that served me well by stocking groceries that I needed. Prices keep going up but my income does not.

Bigger and bigger profits and stores is not better.

Statements like this make me very angry:

'These "under-performing stores" did not bring an acceptable return on investment to owners, according to Albertsons spokeswoman Quyen Ha. '

I would bet those stores were performing a valuable service for their customers and employees just as mine were in my Ohio suburb.
