GDG- I surrender, you win.

Seeing as how my point of view keeps getting corrupted, I surrender.  Some clarifications before I leave the discussion:

1.  I didn't move to Gettysburg to escape "urban blight".  I moved here because I'm a PA-raised person and wanted to get back closer to family in Lancaster without having to quit my job in Maryland to do so.  Gettysburg was the half-way point.  Plus, I couldn't afford $700K single family homes in Maryland at the time.  Housing is a hell of a lot cheaper in PA.  

2.  All I'm expressing is that there are a lot, A LOT, of people in town, both Civil War buffs and not, who wish there were a few more shopping options in town.  Not a megalopolis, just perhaps a few more stores.  I hear it over and over and over again, so I'm not sure why this is news to you guys.  

3.  I'm glad my neighborhood has been so welcoming to my family because it seems as though unless you were raised here in the minds of some others, you shouldn't be allowed to live here.
