    Crack a smile
    A while back, I noticed a caller had called in about cashiers and wait staff in the area being rude. I hadn’t really thought much about it but I am starting to notice it, too. I don’t understand why people have to behave like that. I’m a customer at their business establishment helping them keep their job. I don’t understand where all the smiles went. There is nobody smiling anymore. Bring back the smile.

    Still standing
    The burned-out house at the corner of Hebron and Glendale is a disgrace to this community. Since Carroll County doesn’t have any laws to deal with such neglect, [somebody should do] the right thing and take action to clean up the mess.
    Editor’s note: Three children died in a house fire at that location in 2015. Have you considered that it might hold some emotional value to the family?

    Hammer the scammers
    I wish they would get rid of all these scammers that are calling our phones. I get a 728 number all the time. You can call it back and it has been disconnected. I don’t know how they are doing this but I wish there was some way we could put a stop to it because if I am expecting a doctor’s calls, I won’t answer the phone if I see it is not a number I know. Please do something about it.

    Cheer up
    This is for the caller who needs some cheer. So, snow depresses you? You know, there are a lot of things going on in this world that are more depressing. At least you haven’t had a tornado destroy your home. Just be thankful that wasn’t you, and the next time it comes a snow, just remember that “this is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it,” and this will cheer you up.

    Dictator in D.C.
    President Trump is firing anyone that has any common sense. All he wants in office is someone that agrees with him. If that is not a dictator, I don’t know what one is.

    Great place
    I would like to comment about the Galax Recreation Center. This is one of the nicest facilities I have visited. The employees and management are always friendly and helpful and the activities offered are for all ages.

    Taxpayers’ money
    I was just wondering how much of the taxpayers’ money was used by the Carroll County Board of Supervisors to publish all the delinquent tax names and the amounts owed. I think they should have used that money to help clear it up, especially for some of the seniors and some of the people who aren’t able to find jobs and work. Thank you so much and I hope Carroll County Supervisors have a lovely day.

    Waiting on Wildwood
    Whatever happened with the Wildwood Industrial Park over by Hillsville? It’s been several years since Grayson County threw in with Carroll County to attract some business there. I think they were offering tax breaks to any new businesses locating there. That’s nothing but a bribe and it defrauds local people of tax support for schools and other essential services. We need to figure out some better use for the land out there at Wildwood.

    Seating at The Rex
    I saw in The Gazette where the Galax received a grant. Why don’t they use some of that money to buy new seats for the Rex Theater? They bring in a lot of visitors into town. The old seats are breaking with people. I have seen some break with two older ones already. Someone is going to get hurt. They never say anything at The Rex while the visitors are there about buying a seat. That would probably help. I already have one but I will probably never get to see it. I just wonder why they don’t try to get more seats in there.
