Nobody cares? I do. The Chamber of Commerce does. Individual business
owners do.
I talked with Arnie Moss before Joe's Bootery closed. He had shoes in the
window that were $9 less on Market St. than on the Internet. Did anyone
check before they bought from out of towners?
Marketing what you have is the key.

nothing will change,As I stated before, Kittanning will always be a
retirement town. I had to leave to find a job to support my family and now
I have returned to retire. Really what is here or what not is here dont
bother me, But I wouldent want to see some one else pull up roots as I did
and have to leave their home and family for fifteen years, I think it
would be good to let the one's responsable know just what has left this
area,But Im sure they already do
