11 Commandments for Living in Granville, Ohio
Date Published: July 9th, 2008Categories: General Information
These were posted recently in on the Granville Press website, and we here at Granville Ohio Online found them… well… amusing. You may or may not agree, but they are thought-provoking. I imagine that the length of time in which you have lived in Granville might influence your reaction.
Comments here, or on the original article, are welcome. Feel free to add a few new commandments…
THE BIG 11
1. Granville is special and it is something worth fighting for.
2. I live/moved here because it is unique; therefore I do not support anything that may make it common and/or plain. Doing so only destroys what I have come to love.
3. Granville is a destination; therefore, I do not encourage any business, venture, or zoning code that could rob me of that.
4. Every landowner/developer that has bought land in Granville in the past 100 years knows exactly what they signed up for; a higher standard.
5. If I want Granville to remain a destination I will create a zoning code that will attract independent entrepreneurs that make Granville unique.
6. I will speak out and live up to the fact that, yes, we are different; we have a higher standard; all growth is not acceptable.
7. I will live in and protect one of the last bastions of rural, educated America.
8. If I want to eat at Hoggy’s I have no problem going to New Albany.
9. I do not support any land developer that is not part of the community and does not share our values.
10. I will support every local merchant through good times and bad. This is how we sustain a community.
11. If I want to increase the value of my real property, I do not encourage growth.
