Gastonia’s city manager suing former employer in New Mexico
He did it in Bay City, He is doing it in Rio Rancho, He will probably do it in Gastonia.
Not IF it happens, but when…
OMG – How Sad…
We are very saddened by this story.

The stresses of caring for a loved one, particularly by aging children caring for their parents are incredible.
There are many support groups and organizations that could help people manage those who experience the stresses of caregiving for elderly and young alike.
The REAL cost of living in Belmont
While the Gaston Gazette tracks gas prices, the Belmont Front Porch watches for things that we consider to be closer indicators of cost of living and quality of life: Milk and bread prices.
We tracked milk and bread prices from four local outlets of national/regional chain stores:
|
Wed 1/16/08 |
Aldi | Bi-Lo | Food Lion | Walmart |
| Whole Milk | $3.79 | $4.79 | $4.19 | $4.52 |
| 2% Milk | $3.69 | $4.79 | $4.19 | $4.08 |
| Skim Milk | $3.59 | $4.19 | $4.19 | $3.73 |
| White Bread | $.75 | $1.09 | $1.07 | $1.16 |
| Wheat Bread | $.99 | $1.49 | $1.69 | $1.52 |
All prices reflect the “house brands” of each store, not the name brands.
Oh, and you can get unleaded regular gas at the station on Pole Branch Road (Hwy 273) just over the state line below Seven Oaks for $2.84/galllon (Friday 1/18/08 prices).
