Fort Wayne Prefers Big Corporation Over Smaller Business - Looks Like Local Government Is Small Business Unfriendly

"Isn't the first victim of Menard's likely to be the Do It Best hardware store at Southgate, expanded by the local owner who had faith in the south end of town?" - so opines Leo Morris in his blog Opening Arguments. Morris is with the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel newspaper. Menard's is part of the City of Fort Wayne's efforts to "improve" the shopping in the southern part of Fort Wayne.

I bet the owner of the Do It Best hardware store is kicking himself for "trusting" government.
