Historical perspective on Kmart

by Contributed
2 years ago

To the editor:

I like your recent article on [the former] Kmart’s future.  We must remember it was placed on the property of Edward and Marie Gerard, and covered their fertile veritable garden.  

Your newspaper is necessary for exiled Madawaskans.
