Walgreens Wow!

Have you folks checked out the new Walgreens yet? It is in the former RiteAid store on Main Street across from Kwik Fill and all I can say is wow.

It's nice to have a store in town that is well stocked, customer friendly and with fair prices.

For us tech types the Walgreens website is really impressive (and I don't impress easily). I moved all of my prescriptions to Walgreens and have them all set up on the site for refill and express pay (nice feature). Other nice stuff includes an extensive online medical and drug encyclopedia and a flash version of the local weekly flier with a full shopping list feature. Needless to say, I really like the new store.

Now if Wal-Mart would just get here too we could really start saving some serious dollars.

Time Warner Digital Internet Phone Services vs Vonage - A product review

I have noticed that Time Warner is saturating Allegany County, and Wellsville, with advertising about their digital Internet phone services. Before you bite take a look at Vonage and consider this. Vonage, not only has much better service, both quality and product, but they also offer many more features, better customer care, a broader calling area (all of the US and many foreign countries) and a lower cost ($5.00+ less than TW for the package). I have been using Vonage for quite a while now and frankly can see no downside in choosing them over the Time Warner system. So if you have broadband access check them out online at www.vongage.com or give them a call at 1-800-595-0875.

By way of a personal note. While this is not our purpose in posting this review, you can also help support this community blog and our online ministries if, when you sign up you give them my phone number 585-593-4120 as referring you. I'll get two free months of service and it will not cost you anything. Thanks.

I hope this review helps, but check out Vonage yourself, you will not be sorry.

Arrival of Wal-Mart a boon to some, a bust to others - Business - The Washington Times, America's Newspaper

The Washington Times has recently been running some fine articles regarding what happens when Wal-Mart opens a store in small towns. This is one of the better ones and directly speaks to many of the questions we hear regarding Wellsville and Wal-Mart. It's well worth the read and then please leave a comment.

KILMARNOCK, Va. — David Rose feels like he could be sitting on a gold mine.

"[Business owners] have to be what they originally were: entrepreneurs," says Shawn Donahue, who owns a number of small shops in Kilmarnock. He expects Wal-Mart will "erode" business at his toy store, Christian book store, gift shop and furniture store, among his other shops in the town.
