ReplyWe always have liked El Nopal and they give good service. The other restaurants went out of business because they were a bit more upscale. I predict that El Nopal will thrive in this location, just as they did in their old location.

ReplyWe vote at LaSalle Springs Middle School. The voters are directed to one of the side doors and have no contact with students or staff. I agree with FedUpVet. Kids should be exposed to voting.

ReplyJudging from all of the responses, it looks like the Patch has struck a nerve with this article! I think the city should allow bow hunting on acreages and they should definitely educate residents about the problems associated with feeding deer and other wildlife. I think it would make a difference. I remember about 10 years ago, many people in my neighborhood didn't recycle and they ignored the bins that the city provided. But the city kept sending out articles and letters about it. Now everyone on my street uses the bins for recycling. I think an education campaign would work equally well with the animal control problem. Although it makes people feel good to feed those cute furry animals, it is unnatural for the wildlife and also leads to overpopulation, as we are seeing with the deer herds here in Wildwood. Our family has has two accidents with deer.

Did you know that Romney inherited money from his wealthy father, George Romney? Yes, he inherited weath, but did you know that instead of keeping it, he donated all of that money to charity and then went on to earn his own living in his own right. I admire Romney tremendously for this. Today in our country I see a real climate of hatred towards anyone who has accumulated wealth or achieved success. Throughout American history, it is individuals like these who created corporations, made new products, invented new things and most importantly, EMPLOYED other Americans in the process. Think about it. Jobs do not come out of thin air. Someone has to create jobs.

Bill, I'm so glad that you mentioned the Constitution, because I feel that in our country we are getting so far away from what the founding fathers intended when they set up our democracy.
