Dearborn Planning Commission:
Shame on you! You’re concerned about the income of the people who would shop at Goodwill? What are you really concerned about? Shame on you!!

As a West Dearborn resident, I think it is a great idea. I cannot imagine why someone would be against this. New jobs, people able to purchase items for a discount that need them. I wonder if the retail giants are against this kind of competition, but these kinds of stores were created for good reason. They help many. I would shop there. Flea market & resale stores such as Goodwill and Salvation Army are very popular now with professional interior decorators. Check out Nate and some of the HGTV shows. This will be a boon to West Dearborn!

After all that good talk I just said about them, I went today for coffee and bagels for work(I work at a non-profit) a woman AND THE LITTKE FAT MEXICAN at the cashier made me feel so pressured to put more money in the bin, by reiterating the cause and math and money stuff about my donation. Kiss my ass you prick that’s why I went there bc I want, but because I can’t afford to give more I didn’t. I don’t care if I ordered $50 and could only pay $5 take it and shove it. Now I want to go everyday and show you….

I love that we have to debate what goes into a building that has been vacant for YEARS, while we have ‘new construction’ (that has now been vacant for years) retail space that has never been filled. A debate would be warranted if we had a lack of space or multiple businesses vying for a chance to lease space.
I don’t see how a Goodwill store would have any more negatives than any other store. Certainly it would be better than a Family Dollar – oh yeah, we already have one. Members of the Planning Commission, please get it together. Bring the businesses back to our area!

For the first time I went to this place in Dearborn. I actually live outside of Dearborn and usually go to a different Panera, located near here. As a student man was I always in debt. Even now as a working individual, paying of student loan debt, rent, and debts it’s nice knowing I can go to a place have a “you pick two” with a drink and not feel horrible afterwards that I spent $10 on a meal like I did at the other Paneras. I’m not rich or even comfortable financially to say its ok to spend $10, but sometimes when I have work to do, Panera is where I can go get a good meal.
Yes it’s a day old for loafs of bread and other things, but there’s also fresh items. The fact I can donate what I can rather than what I have to pay for regular prices is a thankful feeling. Although I feel awkward sometimes paying less, or even a few bucks when I know I should spend $10 is great. I’m an appreciative consumer.
As the philanthropy idea behind it, aside from what was mentioned above, I volunteer Saturday mornings in a place in Detroit where TONS of bread is given to people either homeless or lacking any finances. So it is what it is, for me….I’ll go back.
