Crhyme: By &q...I get what you're saying, guys.<br /><br />Crhyme: By "current administration", are you referring to the local level and our lame duck Mayor? I do believe that regardless of who is elected next month, it would be in the city's best interests to refill the space vacated not with another co-op, as clearly Troy as a whole wasn't interested, but rather by luring another, smaller supermarket in. I get that parking remains a problem, and will be until the city fathers can figure a solution beneficial to everyone. Tearing down the former KFC and turning that into a parking lot for businesses in the immediate area surrounding it may be a solution, but that may also be open to objections, depending on whom you ask.<br /><br />Sam: Do you believe that by reducing the initial membership fee, would Pioneer have had a better chance of succeeding? It seems that the populace wasn't willing to fork over $100+ to sign on with Pioneer. A lower fee, as I'd alluded to, might've been a difference maker.hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319982385052710495.post-45482972323604734652011-10-17T21:10:08.557-04:002011-10-17T21:10:08.557-04:00Of course, it doesn't help that the current ad...Of course, it doesn't help that the current administration has gone out of it's way to offer huge tax incentives to chain outfits rather than opting to help local businesses stay open. There's that greed mentality that is so prevalent to the right-wing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319982385052710495.post-17891427648335869512011-10-17T12:22:16.862-04:002011-10-17T12:22:16.862-04:00Seems as if Pioneer wanted to cater to the neighbo...Seems as if Pioneer wanted to cater to the neighborhood it wanted to exist rather than the neighborhood that actually existed. The hard fact is that economies of scale allow the big chains to sell products more cheaply. Another is that not enough Trojans saw Pioneer as an end unto itself whose existence as an alternative to the big chains would justify spending more. Few people today are in a position to make such a choice, and definitely not enough to support such a store in Troy.Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.com
