Shop your local farmers and co-ops and keep the dollars in your own town. Also, go to Whole Foods Market which is an American owned company unlike TJ that is a German company. Also, a huge amount of TJ products are not made by small American owned companies. Instead by large corporations like Pepsi etc.

As a parent who has given up with helping coach or be team mom even, I can say things have not chnaged and it is the same poorly run group that thinks they are the be all end all of volunteerism.

]]> Comment on Bail Bonds by the Bay by First Time Visitor http://pugetsoundblogs.com/south-kitsap/2009/04/23/bail-bonds-by-the-bay/comment-page-1/#comment-12009 First Time Visitor Tue, 13 Jul 2010 14:39:52 +0000 http://pugetsoundblogs.com/south-kitsap/?p=1372#comment-12009 My wife and I visited Port Orchard for the first time a couple weekends ago and were pleasantly surprised at the downtown and the shops. We are looking to purchase land in Manchester and having a ‘cute’ small town with it’s small businesses and services is very important to us.

I have to say the presense and number of bail bonds offices is an immediate detractor from the appeal of the downtown area. So much so I actually searched on the internet and found this article to try to explain why there were so many :-) .

The immediate impression to us was that the area must have a high crime rate to warrant the extreme number of bail bonds. Objectively of course that may not be the case (proximity to the courthouse may be a reasonable explanation). Unfortunately to many folks that may not make up for the poor first impression a visitor to your city may receive.

Hopefully there is a reasonable solution that makes everyone happy… and I don’t have to try to explain to friends and family that visit us in Manchester why we seem to need so many bail bondsmen.
