I live in a mountain community mostly consisting of retired people 20= miles from Jackson, CA- we are fortunate to have a variety of small businesses that make it convenient to not have to drive 20+ miles down to Jackson for any major shopping. One of those businesses is a small but good grocery store with all the thing of a larger supermarket
- good meat, produce, deli Items not carried by Dollar G. - Well a couple years ago Dollar G came up with a deal to take over the lease on the building of the grocery store- the areas population screamed blood murder - got petition and stopped the take over - well Dollar G bought a lot across the road built a building and was quoted of saying "they were going to run the grocery store out of business - as I said we are in a mountain community 3,500 ft elevation it is known as "the snow line" we get some snow 4 to 10 inches mostly but every year or so 18 to 24 comes in and dew to this being CA some times it is quite wet and heavy OK Dollar G is cheap on everything so the must have been cheap on their building as on our first snow fall this year it was heavy and deep 30 inches on my driveway. This was too much for the new Dollar G store as the roof caved in, destroying the building - no word of them rebuilding.

Some days you get the bear and some days the bear gets you. Be careful what you wish for. Last but not least, "Karma is a B****!"
