Without trying to cast aspersions in any way on past management companies, I do think the Boykin people have done a very good job,

They've been very aggressive so far. It's interesting, because for the past six years they've been trying to wean people off the idea that the Internet is all about low prices.

It's not about them. It's about trying to get past them to the people.

We're trying to stay at Fishermen's Village. We want the shopping center management to reconsider extending our lease. I don't think they realize the amount of traffic we generate for the shopping center. There are other spots available in Charlotte County, but none are high-traffic areas. (The Port Charlotte) Town Center mall is not an option because there are no available stores.

I'm obviously not very happy about it, because I think it's just another indication of management trying to use certain tactics available to them to make sure that this deal goes through without any forum for opposition. They've got to try to show investors that they're turning over a new leaf, and this obviously is not really doing that.

Statistics show that in the past, people who are hungry are labeled as trying to beat the system. Statistics show it?s just under 50 percent of our households that have at least one adult who is employed. So, it?s an issue of wages not keeping up with the cost of living in this area. It?s a clear picture in Northwest Arkansas of those who have and those who have not, and there?s nothing in between.
