Giving People What They Want Ms Trestman’s comments in the February issue about having a grocery store in Norfolk brought back some horrible memories to my wife, Louise Schimmel, and me. What ended as Dina’s started in 1996 as Greenwoods Market and Café. We kept it going for three very long years. Our basic assumption […]

Re: What Happened? Following on Rosanna Trestman’s piece on Norfolk’s retail struggles in last month’s “View from the Green”, I want to let the town know that I have recently made the difficult decision to put the Norfolk Corner up for sale. As Rosanna accurately observes, it is extremely difficult, for a number of reasons, […]

The View is Just Fine Lindsey Pizzica Rotolo surely echoed the views of most if not all Norfolkians in her View From the Green article last month regarding the pride we take in the beauty of our town.

More Emergency Services I was surprised to note that the Norfolk Now has adopted a new policy for printing articles without a basis of fact. In the column “Just how good is that view,” the statement that a building was hastily approved by the building committee and the Planning and Zoning Commission was totally off […]

Not only did she cite our new town successes, but she also drew attention to our terrific parking problem and the many dangers created by this dilemma. Personally, […]

Parking Map Volunteers Bridgette Rallo’s article (Sept. 2009, Norfolk Now) on Norfolk’s parking problem mentions a diagram showing where on-street parking is—and is not—allowed in the town center. As Rallo correctly notes, this map was the work of members of the Economic Development Commission. However, the map would not have come into being without the detailed survey undertaken by […]

Tomahawk Chop I read with interest the article on Kim Scharnberg Meets Obama. I congratulate Mr. Scharnberg on his achievements and his talent. The last paragraph caused me concern, however. The writer states that among his current projects is an arrangement of “The Tomahawk Chop” for the Atlanta Braves games. I wonder if Mr. Scharnberg […]
