Dear Editor,
Larry Price’s house in Iron Wood could be turned into a community center, have a local Mom and Pop grocery store, a small café, coffee shop, an exercise/rehab room and a couple rooms for unexpected over-night guests.
In some of the larger cities the only store is the convenience store that sells junk food, alcohol, tobacco products and lottery tickets. Convenience stores promote poverty, addiction and obesity.
Granted in Montana we are accustomed to driving several miles to any store, but what happens when the car breaks down, through age or accident we lose our mobility, how will we get the things we need in the larger subdivisions in and around Billings? Where do people get real nutritious food for the body and mind but from a real grocery store.
