Please tell me the recent article that the giant retail chain Dollar General may be coming to Grand Marais was an early April Fool’s joke. What’s next, a Target and a few McDonald’s?
One of the many things that make this town great is that there isn’t any of these up here. I’m running out of room and will have to become a Canadian next.
Please think of the jobs and the local businesses that this giant retailer would hurt or maybe even destroy, not to mention the eyesore.
Stop trying to turn the “Coolest small town in America” into something nobody wants. If you like the city life, stay in the city and leave Grand Marais with what small-town feel it has left.
