Don’t stand in way of 1st-class restaurants I noticed in Monday’s paper that a hearing is scheduled today for public comment or input to the building of an Olive Garden in Beckley at the Raleigh Mall.

Beckley is in need of restaurants of this caliber where you can get a good meal without music so loud you can’t hear someone across the table from you talking. Want my input? Let them start construction ASAP.
