Jewelry Store Limitations

What if all those jewelry stores were men's or women's clothing
stores? Would the fight to limit them as well be started?
I worked with Ketchikan's jewelry stores in the 70's and 80's
on their advertising budgets when at KTKN. I still consider
their owners or past owners my friends. So, with the loss of
fishing and timber money jewelry stores surfaced. At least somebody
found a niche to work with.
I still go by my fomrer KTKN employers theory on complaints.
If you have a complaint, and don't like what's happening, DON'T
complain unless you have a viable solution. Thank You, Chuck
Jensen for that thought.
Like they say, if you eradicate jewelry stores, what replaces
them? Think out this little problem before yuu act. There's
also a factor called free enterprise.
One last comment (this time). Too many tourists? Good grief.
Enjoy them. You'll be a tourist somewhere, sometime, and the
locals there will complain about YOU. Mingle, talke with them,
and enjoy the moment....
G-Day!!
