It makes me so mad I could spit, I don't mind helping someone that tries to help themselves .... But these girls that make this their occupation I'm done paying for you to have kid after kid and live with drug dealers and run my town into the ground..... And if the people of this town don't start doing something its only going to get worse, GO TO THE COUNCIL MEETINGS and demand they put a cap on Section 8, Like Kent has and streetsboro and every other town around.....STOP THE MADDNESS>>>>>>>>>>>

	Harvey, I'm proud to say I lived in Maple Grove. Now I live a comfortable middle class life in a house in Ravenna. There is no shame in being poor, but being better off is a lot more fun. As they say, "Living well is the best revenge." I'm constantly amazed at how some Portage County folks act as though the problems we face here in Northeastern Ohio will magically go away if Windham were razed. Have you idiots never been outside Ohio? (And no, West Virginia doesn't count.) This is the Rust Belt. The entire region is an economic wasteland. Things are so bad here that attempts by Aurora, Hudson, and other so-called "wealthy" communities to look like genteel small towns just wind up looking contrived and pathetic. That's not to mention places such as Garrettsville, Streetsboro, Ravenna, and the rest, which are indistinguishable from Windham when compared with Sun Belt communities. I've lived in four states now. I've worked with people from all around the world. A few years ago, I came to the realization that Windham is the closest thing I'll ever have to a hometown. I gotta tell ya, that thought makes me smile. Why? Because I'd rather be a Windhamite than some stuck-up yuppie wannabe with no roots or sense of belonging, which is exactly what I'd be if it weren't for that piece of parchment with my name on it from the Windham Exempted Village School District. I'm proud to be a Windham Bomber. Thank you.

	I can't wait either, maybe you or your family will be on the list. The only reason I posted again was because I found it funny how you talk out another orifice of your body other then your mouth. Did you check the dictionary? because you are making yourself look awful STUPID. Check it please for the spelling of R-E-S-T-A-U-R-A-N-T. I don't know why I even waste my time with you. Read steelersrule13's comment #41, this isn't about the eatery, can you spell eatery? It's about the drug bust, you are making all of Windham look real bad including yourself. wow, take a good look in the mirror, you have led the perfect saintful life? yeah, well it doesn't matter anyways , we all know who you are, you have spelled it out clearly, MY BAD, you don't know how to spell.
