Subject: A & M BBQ support
I am writing in support of A & M BBQ and finding a solution to allow them to stay in Sebastopol.
Sebastopol MUST support it's family owned businesses. The owners of this restaurant are personable, welcoming and strive to be a gathering spot in their community. INVESTING in Sebastopol. These businesses are what make a small town like Sebastopol unique and desirable. I understand a balanced assessment of needs, but when you consider a grocery outlet or Little Ceasars, what does that say. Will they be in the apple blossom parade? Are their owners sending their kids to Analy or care about local issues? It’s hard to believe that some sort of solution can’t be found.
Thank you for your consideration. I know you all have a rough job in a contentious world. But we need to stand up for our locals. Tougher times are ahead and a strong community is what will see us through.
Sincerely,
Phyllis Early
