Twenty-four years before Chick-fil-A opened on East State Street, people were standing a few hundred feet away protesting another national chain: Walmart. When the Walmart Supercenter opened in 2002, its arrival came after years of pushback from Athens residents concerned about what a retailer of its size could mean for local businesses and the city around them. Today, Walmart is a normal part of East State Street. Chick-fil-A is its newest neighbor.

High Points of the Valley

* Farm families don't seek out a lot of recognition -- they're too busy -- but a few of them were honored last week, anyway. The Little Kanawha Conservation District recognized farms in Calhoun, Ritchie, Roane, Wirt and Wood Counties. The Townsend Farm in Belleville was recognized as a Sesquicentennial Farm and the Wood County Co-Operator of the Year. It's a generational operation run today by Sheila and Kevin Townsend, who manage 131 acres of the original farm to raise beef cattle, market hogs, hay, corn and soybeans. Other farms in our region that earned a nod were the Riggs Farm in Wirt County, the Helmick Farm in Calhoun County, the Garrison and Ewing farms in Wood County, the Depue and Parsons farms in Roane County, and the Nelson Family Farm in Ritchie County. The saying goes "No farms, no food." We might add, "No farm FAMILIES, no food." Thank you, folks, for all you do for the rest of us.

The Ohio Amish Bulk Food Store Where Deli Meat And Baking Supply Prices Make Shoppers Look Twice

A deli counter on a quiet country ridge road slices local lunch meat at prices that make regular grocery receipts look a little silly. That alone got my attention. The same small Ohio shop sells specialty flours in commercial-size bags. It also stocks spices, canning supplies, and the tiny dry marshmallows that big supermarkets always seem to forget.
