What's On
Your Mind???
If
something is on your mind that you
would like to share, e-mail it to us
at mail@thecaroinascoop.com.
Please
include your name and a valid phone
number for verification purposes on
all submissions.
In your
report, you mentioned city commissioners
concerns about parking.
What does county parking have to do with
the proposed new restaurant project on E.
Pine St?
How can anyone hope
to successfully operate a restaurant with
only five parking spaces?
Mr. Abernathy
stated that Lincolnton needs a
restaurant. There are approximately 25 -
30 various eateries in a one or two
square mile radius in Lincolnton. I'm not
sure another one is needed.
Thanks,
Charles E. Akers
