XVI. ADJOURNMENT
This is a direct quote from the city planning board….in allowing a bingo parlor to open on Zeb Robinson Rd…..”our mission is to create an activity such as bingo to entertain and stimulate the human brain”!!! How short-sighted are members of this planning board? Statistics show that over 85% of people who play bingo are already living below the poverty level. Will this “NEW” business cause an influx over to the Dept. of Social Services by people trying to get help w/water bills,electric bills, etc. b/c they have lost all their $$$ at bingo? The General Assembly just got rid of most of the internet casinos and here we have another business coming into the immediate area that historically preys on the poor.
I’ll give you an even better reason not to allow a BINGO PARLOR not to open in Henderson….about 6-7 years ago when a guy from Kinston opened up Bingo World on Warrenton Rd. in the old Moore’s bldg. their were about 40-50 bingo patrons in their playing bingo. Some of Henderson’s finest decided to run in their w/masks on and robbed everyone of everything……even the elderly. They locked the ones that would fit into the bathrooms and left the others tied up and traumatized for life. Now tell me……is this a business that Vance County wants to promote?
“Stimulate the human brain”? Really? “Help with hand/eye coordination”? All I can say is they are reaching for any excuse to allow a business that has a direct history of violence in Hendeson/Vance area. Granville County is getting industry upgrades……Vance County is getting bingo parlors!!!! Figure it out…..it’s not too hard!!!!
I am about to head down Oxford Rd. going to Hardee’s……Publius are you around b/c I would love to have a conversation with you and see why you’re so bitter at my posts. If you’re proud of Henderson and its endeavors I would hate to see where you lived before coming here!! If today’s not convenient, let me know and I’ll be there. Until then………….
I’ll be there in about an hour. See ya.
I sat in there from 8:30 til about 8:50. Don’t know if you were there b/c I don’t know what you look like unless you have a shirt on that says “I am the blogger from HiH who blasts every post that Deception posts on HiH”. I did see a bunch of elderly gentlemen but they looked like they were too classy to fit your description as a bitter old man. What is it you want from me? You have challenged me verbally and physically in prior posts but I think when you get the chance to see me face-to-face your attitude and your keyboard muscles will diminish. I wasn’t born scared and I’m way too old to become scared now. So…..with that being said…you have already posted your address(off Chestnut St.(which led me to believe you weren’t too bright to begin with) and with your constant bashing of posts it only validates my original thinking. Hopefully our paths will cross sooner rather than later b/c I would like to meet a “man”…and I use that term loosely who wakes up MAD at the world everyday. Henderson has over 100+ Churches…why don’t you visit one and maybe they can help you not wake up everyday MAD at the world. Until we meet………..next time I’ll let you pick the place & time b/c I have a little further drive than you. Hope you enjoyed the coffee and the gossip this morning!!! I did see Mr. Hedgepeth while I was waiting for you but it’s hard to wait for someone when you only go by your HiH name!
Also, you should be more careful with the name calling,etc. b/c in case you don’t know the 1st owner of HiH Jason Feingold basically sold this business b/c of a lawsuit Hester v. Home in Henderson. Unless you have enough $$$ to pay libel, attorneys, slanderous comments, etc. You get the picture old man?
Decept, you certainly have a lot of time on your hand. Get a hobby. Learn a foreign language. Get you GED. Pick up trash along the interstate. Because trashing your poor neighbor isn’t going to help you attain chi.
Publius…..its called retirement sweetie!!! As far as picking up trash along the interstate why don’t you start in Vance County and I’ll start in Granville Co. and we will work until we meet along I85. As far as the foreign language goes….I’m quite fluent in Spanish which has come in handy when visiting Vance County due to the influx of the Hispanic population.
You seem to be a bitter old man……what gives? Do you get offended when someone knows more than you or presents the info. in a more informative/easier to read way? If that’s the case, I can DUMB DOWN my comments so that you can have an easier job of trying to make out what I speak of b/c it’s quite obvious you are infatuated with my posts!!! Thanks……it’s quite flattering!!!!
Where do you work? Or are you one of the many that form the line over at the Dept. of Social Services?
doing a little research, wonder if this will be the new store opening in Henderson ?
Europe’s Biggest Grocer, Lidl, Is Planning 500 U.S. Stores In 2015
The $89 billion Lidl grocery chain is looking at expanding from Europe to the U.S., according to a U.K.-based retail analyst who says the retailer could open as many as 100 East Coast stores in 2015, Supermarket News reported.
Lidl says it is specifically looking at the East Coast. The U.S. stores are expected to be similar to those of its European rival Aldi, with discount prices but limited selection. Lidl is the largest grocer in Europe by revenue.
