Editor, The Smithfield Times:

Citizens have spoken loudly, often and passionately about their feelings concerning the developments happening in our town and county.

I agree with what has been said, however, I am inclined to think in terms of song lyrics:

 

They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot

with a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swinging hot spot.

Don’t it always seem to go?

Don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.

They paved paradise and they put up a  parking lot.
