What a waste of space !!!!! Stop the Dollar General. Until today I did not know what boycott Dollar General meant. Now I see the dozers.

I am stunned to read in the Pickens Progress that perhaps the oldest building (pre-1800?) in neighboring Pickens County is about to be dismembered, bulldozed and destroyed, replaced with a Dollar General store. How is it that commercial interests can completely outweigh the imperative to preserve the culture and history of where we live? One day the only place to know the history of the Jasper area will be a book on a shelf at the Pickens Library because of travesties like this one unfolding. A pretty sad ending in the name of 'development and progress'.

Do we in America leave behind examples of our vanishing historic sites or in the future will people see dilapidated Dollar General stores. Take a deep breath D.G., and give the leaders of the community the time they need. This could boost your image as a corporation.

We really do not need another Dollar General and especially not at this intersection. We need time to research this historic property and relocate it.

We don't need this period. I don't know anyone who wants in this area.

Please stop the destruction of a historic site and such a beautiful community all in the name of a quick buck and convenience. Also, the safety concerns raised by adding commercial vehicles onto a busy residential road. Anyone can drive the short 2 to 3 miles into town to preserve the beauty which is becoming increasingly rare. One small store will not help with our counties growth. We need industry to bring in jobs and help with taxes to help take the entire burden off of tax payers. The best way to get bullies attention is through their pocket book. Boycott Dollar General!!

We don't need another Dollar General in Pickens County. I can go 4 miles one way or the other to a damn store. What need are industries so the taxes will go down not a dang store.

Jasper doesn't need another dollar store, or atleast find another location.

Jasper is a beautiful town with so much heritage and history. While commerce and community growth are important, it is not right to tear down irreplaceable historic sites for discount stores. A Dollar General is not needed at that location on Cove Rd.

Please locate this Dollar General in another part of Pickens County. It will put to many cars in that area. Thank you!
