This may or may not be true, Jim. How do we know what the top issues are if we haven't polled the population to find out? Just because it may be one of our most important issues doesn't make it so for the entire town. Right?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
From my own observations and conversations with well over 200 Stokesdale citizens, the hands down opinion is that both a post office and Stokesdale Town Hall should be located somewhere in the Stokesdale 'core area' or historic downtown somewhere between the two stoplights (68/158 and 158/65).
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Jim, just where in this corridor is a place available to build any new structure, much less two with adequate parking for both citizens in the case of the TC complex and customers and employees of the PO? I'd like to see both the TC building and the PO built in the core, but it seems any such new construction would need to be to the north or south of Main St. (158) to remain in the core. I treasure the old-timey look of Stokesdale's downtown, but I just don't see where new development can go. Perhaps with your extensive real estate experience you can enlighten us?
And by the way, James- I'm one of those interested Rockingham County Stokesdalians. The city limit may have cut me out of the vote, but I'm darned if won't be heard on the issues.

I have been corresponding with Senator Dole and also Henry L. Dix, Greensboro District Manager of the Postal System. Pictures were sent along with a question concerning the possibility of asbestos in that old building. We are on our 2nd round of letters. You are absolutely right that everyone living in Stokesdale has to get on the bandwagon and write, call or e-mail the people you listed. I will get in touch with them as well as keep up my exchanges with Senator Dole. Thanks for your suggestion. Now, fellow Stokesdale residents, one letter from each one of us would have more impact than 5 or 6 letters from just me.
You know, Tweety, I think you may be on to something here. Think about all of the Neighborhood Associations there are in and around Stokesdale. There is also the Senior group that is organized thru Senior Services, plus churches may be willing to at least help spread the word about how to contact our representatives. If a different group sent them letters each month, that should impress them! In addition to just getting the word out to residents who could individually contact them advocating for a new post office!

While I agree that we shouldn't have to beg/document the need, obviously SOMETHING needs to be done.... We aren't making any progress the way things are going now.
I think the idea of putting info in the NW Observer is fine, but I think people are more likely to actually follow up and write if asked personally to do so....

Maybe the Town of Stokesdale can have the planning dept., the sherrif's dept, and any others that it can direct, to issue citations to the USPS for any of the following:
1. Safety concerning the large potholes that seem to always be in the parking lot.
2. The lack of sufficient handicap spaces and the lack of good markings for same.
3 The lack of crossing signs for Hwy158.
4. In general ugliness.
