Page 2 September, 1964 Fairbanks Plaza- Help or Hindrance? LLLL pRO I am in favor of the new shopping center as an aid. to Beloit and a chance for city improvement. Its location is easily accessible to most Beloiters and promises enjoyable surroundings. V) A sorts IP Co N A new construction in a town such os Beloit is usually considered by the residents as a good and progressive thing. The large shopping center, now going up at the site of the old Fairbanks golf course, has been anticipated by the people for almost two years now. But there is a group who will never anxiously await the grand opening. They are the merchants in town. One individual person may find no advantages in the shopping center as of now, but as a service to Beloit it seems to have many good points. New jobs for stu- dents, shopping convenience, and ample parking space will be provided for by the shopping center. There are probably some disadvantages in any new project like this. All in all, however, the shopping center, Fairbanks Plaza, won’t be harmful. On the contrary, it will help in building a bigger and better Beloit. Sue Ryan ARISTA BELOIT CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL Beloit, Wisconsin A shopping center so close to town will hurt their business at a drastic rate. Many steady customers will resort to the center, not so much for quality as for convenience. Privately owned businesses that through the years have earned a good name are going to be eased out by the competitive chain companies. How can non-Beloit- ers give us the same friendliness and good products that Beloit wants? The way to build a bigger and better Beloit is up to those who know its law, its sites and its people. More than this, most of the stores downtown require out-of-town business. Visitors will be attracted to the center. Yes, the problem could be a serious one. How is this shopping center in Beloit going to affect your parents, your family, and you? Joanne Milatzo editor.......... ASSISTANT EDITOR . NEWS EDITOR..... FEATURE EDITOR . SPORTS EDITOR . . .
