Jane Doe, 8 Block, N.C. (Jane works for the city and desires to avoid losing her job at the hands of Zack and Ruth)
♦ I usually don’t get terribly upset when I read the thoughtless negativity being spewed of late by Salisbury’s incumbent city council. Yesterday I read Maggie Blackwell’s very hurtful and insensitive post about Salisbury’s late Hallmark Card Shop being passed around on Facebook. Maggie Blackwell’s post:
Maggie Blackwell wrote: “So glad old Hallmark decided to pull their store from our area…” Blackwell surely knew that a local family owned that franchise and worked very hard to make a go of that shop a popular gift destination in the Tinseltown area. The late Hallmark Card Shop provided jobs for people residing in Salisbury. Let it be known many persons from Salisbury and out in the county enjoyed Hallmark’s cards and gifts and unlike Blackwell do not act snooty and above it all in their shopping choices.
Blackwell who professes an allegiance to the shop local movement, sounded anything but in her Facebook rant when she told the world she buys her “special” cards at Whole Foods (far from Salisbury) or online at PapyrusCards.Com. No mention of Critters on Main Street where you can often find humorous and interesting cards.
