What's Taking the Thrift Shop So Long?

The Greenville Regional Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Shop was supposed to open in the old Super Valu building by the end of the summer. It still hasn't moved, and what's the hold-up here?

I'm told by my inside spies that the delay is due to the hospital's massive renovation of the old Super Valu building. While I believe the very deserving volunteers of the Auxiliary do deserve some office space, we all know that what the hospital does best is remodel.

Therefore, I predict that it will be past the now-given date of November for the move. You might as well do what you do best.

Where's the Appreciation for Mrs. Utlaut?

At first I was perturbed by Utlaut Memorial Hospital's decision to change its name to Greenville Regional Hospital. How dare they forget the contributions of the Utlauts? Now I realize it was a good decision.

However, that doesn't mean that they should have taken down Mary Utlaut's portrait from the front entrance hall. It used to have such a prominent place, and now it's nowhere to be seen. The hospital seems to have totally forgotten its roots, and its generous benefactor. Not cool, GRH.
