Sunset on the Delta

Dear Scoop Readers and Contributors,

Sorry about the long absence, but I have finally gotten settled in my new home... in Savannah, GA. It has been quite an ordeal... finally selling my family home, and most of my possessions to seek "greener" pastures in my latter years.

Greenville will always be my home, but it has changed... and unfortunately not for the better. I am near retirement and will be doing consultant work in a local hospital. Savannah is breathtaking and reminds me in some ways of the quaint "old" Greenville that I knew as a child.

I leave behind many good friends, co-workers and no doubt many enemies who have disagreed with my "opinions" over the last 7 years. The important thing to remember is that they were "opinions"... things that we all have, but rarely get to share in a public forum. The "Delta Scoop" has truly been an enjoyable outlet and forum for me to host... but it is time for me to step down as blog master.
I wish nothing but the best for Greenville and its residents. I hope someone will continue this forum, perhaps under a new name with "new" ideas to stimulate conversations.

I can honestly tell you that hosting a blog is not difficult with today's technology and Google. I have genuinely enjoyed hosting the "Scoop" and believe that WE have contributed to the betterment of
Greenville... through our opinions, criticisms and recommendations, needed changes came about. Our voices were heard!

I have always been loyal to the complete
anonymity of myself and all contributors. It is not important who said what. It is important to simply let your voice be heard! I will not take down the "Delta Scoop" for those who enjoy the comments section. Hopefully, someone will come up with a new blog, but until then, you can continue to post your comments here on the Scoop. I wish you all peace and prosperity in the future. I will never forget my home town.

I am not good at good-byes, so I leave you with this quotation from former President Carter at his farewell address to the nation:

"We live in a time of transition, an uneasy era which is likely to endure for the rest of this century. During this period we may be tempted to abandon some of the time-honored principles and commitments which have been proven during the difficult times of past generations. We must never yield to this temptation. Our American values are not luxuries, but necessities – not the salt in our bread, but the bread itself."

Forever,

Forthright

Greenville has the worst crime in the nation? Did i understand this correctly?

No matter who the mayor is G'ville is doomed.

Don't give up yet!!! For the Presidential election we will have to show ID's to vote. About time we passed that!!! I live in this city and I am not from here, but I do feel that I can make a difference in some small way!!!

Doesn't matter who G'ville gets for mayor. G'ville will still be a lost cause. Believing in G'ville is like believing in Santa Claus.

The public schools are doing a poor job of educating properly raised children. I think the public school kids are properly raised. I could ask 100 @ random parents and i think it would be 95% saying my kids are properly raised. It's all in the quality of admin and the quality of teachers. Our public schools score a big fat "F". Blame it on anything and everything but it boils down the the sorry teachers and administration. MSVU is no different. CLOSE IT DOWN. STOP USING PUBLIC MONEY

1053 you are living in a dream world to think that 95% of any towns children are properly raised. What is your definition of properly raised and maybe I would understand where you are coming from?.

I didn't say "towns" children. Can you properly read what I said?

Carl was all about "we" as in current admin during the debate. It showed during the election. We want change in Greenville.
we got it.
We want change in Washington, we are getting there. Are we still replacing crooks with younger rich crooks in Washington? There should be a law banning lawyers from public office.

Recently I returned to G'ville to attend a funeral.I was shocked by what I saw. What the hell happened to my hometown the last 20 years? Is there no city pride? I have never seen such a nasty dirty place in all my travel. Buildings abandoned, streets undrivable,a mall thats a joke,people in such a depressed mood and hoopty cars everywhere. I thought I had gone back in time 50 years.

Anonymous said...

We all know 6:37 didn't just return for a funeral..Sorry bastard has lived here all his life and can't get out without selling his home wich is priced about a 10 yr old double-wide trailer. Give it away and get out. Surely you can some govt asst.

Anonymous said...

11:46 it sounds like you are angry that you weren't as smart as I was and get out of that shithole they call G'ville. I left there 25 years ago. Maybe you need to put your wheels down on your single wide trailer and move to mound bayou where you belong. Don't be mad at me because I was way smarter than you dumbass to get out of there before I lost my ass like you are doing right now. Goodluck on selling you trailer or better yet why don't you just burn it down. It's an eyesore anyway just like G'ville.

DRMC is the biggest pothole in this city

Anonymous said...

You people need God. If I knew anyone black or white that thought like you people I would distance myself from them immediately. Jesus died and shed is blood for man, not for malicious, evil people like you. Do you believe in God, do you pray, if so to who? Maybe you think the hereafter is all one race, that God will only let people like you in. I feel so sorry for you and whom ever raise you.

However with passing time the complexity in this field has increased and performing an SEO task is not a simple thing to do. You need the keyword and phrase in both title and description. SEO requires understanding of various algorithms.

Essentially, it is usually drastically more affordable in the event
you exchange the actual battery oneself, as opposed to finding a storage area to get it done.
Remove other nearby wireless devices, such as a cordless or cellular telephone and make sure the mouse is at
least eight inches away from a wireless keyboard. Mobile
computing is continuously getting better with best performance, smarter processors, light weight and handy designs, but as we all know,
the main power of the mobile computing device (weather it is laptop, mobile,
PDA or e-book reader) resides in it's battery capacity.

For those looking for an advanced video editing guide, they need to
look into the tools, choices, and art that editing really encompasses, which is more than just cutting
together different clips. Thin hairline fonts look appropriate when used in wedding
videos, but may not when used as a horror film's main title. In cases like this, a number of shots need be included in the video, from wide shots of the band to close-ups of the musicians, It is also important to shoot a lot of cutaway shots.
