Yes, I remember Disco! That was the owner right before Bazar. I worked at Bazar from 1974 to 1978. It was agreat place to work and it was union!

She felt that may have contributed to Trader Joe’s not locating in Humboldt County."<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure what she means by this. Any clue? I probably need to ask her. Is she saying our current work force is limited in certain skills? As in construction skills? Retail stills? Management skills? <BR/><BR/>Social issues? Is she saying our workforce or community has social issues that won't allow Trader Joe's to locate here? Does that mean the Trader Joe's corporation completed a study to see if they had any prospective customers and found our community wouldn't fulfill their quotas? <BR/><BR/>I'm sorry, I really don't mean to pick on on certain candidate. But some of these folks really don't have a grasp on how business works.<BR/><BR/>A polo field? <BR/><BR/>Gosh, running for office to represent the community doesn't mean you have this wonderful wish list that is going to be filled.<BR/>It's a lot of nuts and bolts, <BR/>truly mundane stuff that the rest of the community doesn't want to contend with. <BR/><BR/>Wow, Bazaar. I loved the roller track where you placed on your bins of groceries and watched them roll out to your car. And the attendant helped you load them. Remember when it was called Disco?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30719375.post-1158285827351053342006-09-14T19:03:00.000-07:002006-09-14T19:03:00.000-07:00I think most of the candidates answered the questi...I think most of the candidates answered the questions fairly. I was quite impressed with Ron Kuhnel and Jeff Leonard. But they are running against each other. They are both Democrats and I think have Eureka's best interest in mind. I have done business with Glass as a consumer pretty much since Bazar closed. They always had the eclectic music. Things like Mott the Hoople, Roxy Music, Sparks, Alex Harvey, Greg Kihn stuff off the wall. So I have had mostly positive dealings so I may be prejudice, but I like Larry and probably relate to him more in life than Mary Beth, who is also a fellow Democrat. I wish she was there to hear. Nan Abrams is a fellow union member/Democrat. Both of us have over 30 years in the rank and file and she had good answers. I consider Mike Jones a friend and I think he has Eureka's best interest at heart. He doesn't do it for the money that is for sure. Tish is of course straight up. What you see and hear is what you get. I like the changes to the Marina Center project, but am still hedging. I hope to make the CREG meeting and keep an open mind. Once they add a softball field element....all bets off and I am sold! Actually stay tuned, I have some good arguments for the project and against.samoasoftballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06244238117702878406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30719375.post-1158281454864322472006-09-14T17:50:00.000-07:002006-09-14T17:50:00.000-07:00Great summary.
