Murder Mart?

 



You've heard of the Stop 'n' Rob stores? It seems there's a new franchise in Florence and our mayor isn't shy about mentioning it when he forgets anyone is listening.

The District 1 mini-mart sits just two blocks off Court Street, but it has developed a so-so reputation for drugs and violence. While in a small public meeting, Andy Betterton didn't hesitate to call the store a "Murder Mart." This was not the most brilliant move he's ever made.

Now council candidate Stephanie Harvey is calling Handy Dandy Andy out over his miscue. Will he apologize?

Stay tuned...

  1. And the saying of Paul Harvey applies here: NOW FOR "The Rest of The Story" Kaytrina P. Simmons Florence City Council-President, District 1 sat in the meeting and when Andy Betterton made the derogatory remark about a small business in the district she represents. Instead of correcting him and asking he respect small business in her district, what did Kaytrina P. Simmons Florence City Council-President, District 1 do? SHE GIGGLED! Elect Stephanie Harvey District 1, August 26th!
