  1. Although the purchase of the permit is public information, the news of the business is the business owner's to tell, not yours. By being the first to break the news, you are denying the business owner the right and ability to use their news to their advantage.

  3. Maybe you should interview these business owners and ask them how they feel about the Post telling their story. It's one thing to be a reader of the National Enquirer but totally different if you are the subject matter. Until you've been in the shoes of the subject matter you really have no idea how it messes with your plans.

  4. It is almost impossible to get a business or new business press release published in the Journal Times. I would hope that the new businesses send their business news to the Post to their new business can get proper exposure. To read the Journal Times you would think there is no business activity in Racine County. The Post does a much better job.

  5. I do not see a story anywhere on this page and besides half these establishments are already open and doing business. One such place was recently profiled in a news story.
    Phony controversy double complainer poster, get a life.

    These gold buying places springing up are a bit concerning to me. I do believe the proprietors of these establishments are hoping to capitalize with the aid of petty burglars, krakheads, armed robbers and other ne'er do wells.
    I know gold is very valuable and I see Sunshine ghetto market is buying it.
    Payday loans want to buy it.
    Suv's driving around plastered with "I BUY GOLDS" signs.
    Mail your gold off for cash ?

    Secure your stuff folks.
