<div>Dear Charles Village Friends:</div>
<div>I only wish that I could put the right words together, but basicly the neighborhood needs to support LOCAL INDEPENDENT BUSINESES. Eddies, Donna's, Graphic Imaging, and others that I cannot think of at the moment. BUYING LOCAL puts dollars back into the local economy. Chains & Francises send their dollars to their headquarters based in other states.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I want to thank everyone in the community that has their printing & graphic design done at Graphic Imaging, Inc. We appreciate your support in this stressful (down) economy.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank You:</div>
<div>Richard, Kim, Laurie, Claire, Bill and the entire family of Graphic Imaging, Inc.<br>

segment as Subway -- which has a shop a block away, so it is kind of curious
that they'd set up here.
I don't have a good sense of how big the space is, but it's small enough that I
doubt a real bistro-sized restaurant could fit in there. I also wonder whether
there'd be a problem getting a liquor license in a block that already has at
least two that I can think of off the top of my head (CVP and Donna's -- and
does Ledo's have one too?). Might be hard to convince an upscale place to open
if they can't sell booze.

another business failure there. Note that P J Henry failed after its owners
expanded to Towson Commons (where everything has failed) and to Bel Air, thus
presumably causing the entire enterprise to fail.
