garfield heightsI've been reading with ever-increasing alarm about crimes on the rise in Garfield Heights. These aren't your regular car-jackings and burglaries.  These are crimes of opportunities for certain.

Young kids, probably teenagers, are catching residents as they go for late-night strolls.  I'm sure you see them all the time - couples, neighbors, joggers, etc., out in the evening after 8 p.m. for a walk, jog, or run.  A bunch of kids accost and then rob them.  Police are looking and doing all they can to catch the culprits but in the meantime, be safe!

  • Definitely don't walk out alone at night!
  • Stay in well-lit areas when you do go out.
  • If you see a suspicious group coming toward you, cross the street!
  • Whatever you do, do NOT confront them!
  • If you are accosted, do not resist. Your purse, wallet, watch, necklace, whatever, is NOT worth getting hurt to save!!

Be safe!

Wal-Mart Heading For The Hills - Sad But True!

No, it's not what you think! Wal-Mart has not decided to move it's headquarters to New Mexico or Chile. Something much, much worse has happened and, unfortunately, it has happened in my little suburb of Garfield Heights, Ohio.

Wal-Mart in the new shopping plaza on Transportation Boulevard shut its doors on Monday morning. The unthinkable happened. Without any warning to employees, who showed up to work yesterday as they did for every Monday morning for the past year since the plaza has been operational, only to be told that the store was closing. Just like that, all of those employees were now out of work with no opportunity to search for another place of employment.

I've often wondered why companies chose to close that way. I mean, if you're in a techy job, I'm sure they wouldn't want you sabotaging the computers by having ample time to plant a virus in the system. But at Wal-Mart?? What are you going to do, sabotage the check-out scanners? What could have caused them to not care one lick about their employees to the point of not caring enough to give them any notice whatsoever? I don't get it.

Now, I've been told that there are problems with the sewer issues over there, run-off problems from the other building happening in the area, etc. Still, is that really enough reason to give out hundreds of pink slips with no notice?

I don't think so. To all those who have been shut out at Wal-Mart this week - my heart goes out to each and every one of you.
