(...) So, if I understand you, you're sort of saying that the Blacksmith's Shop was a good idea, but one that was overpriced? Or am I misreading your stance on this? I wonder if 'compete' is the wrong word in this case. Perhaps I should have said, (...) (22 years ago, 28-Nov-02, to lugnet.town, lugnet.general)

What about schools, a library, low-rise office buildings, churches, and the list goes on. Maybe it isn't (...) (22 years ago, 28-Nov-02, to lugnet.town, lugnet.general)
