An article in today's Daily Reporter mentioned discussions in MyColdwater.com. Specifically, this was the
MyColdwater.com group on Facebook. (You need to have a Facebook account to be able to view the group.) What happened is that I discovered that news articles were being posted all over the Internet about
Infinisource moving its headquarters to Charlotte, NC, and I reported it on
Twitter and Facebook that Infinisource was leaving Coldwater. Usually when a company "moves" it headquarters, something is taken away from the old location, i.e., a reduction or elimination. But the news articles were misleading. What actually is happening is that Infinisource is expanding operations (creating new jobs) and designating Charlotte, NC, as a new headquarters while leaving Coldwater intact. (GOOD news for Coldwater!) What is cool about Facebook is that others checked into it and posted right away, so I was able to quickly post corrections to Facebook and Twitter. Roland Stoy of the Reporter went so far as to mention the whole series of events on MyColdwater.com in the
clarifying news story. Thanks to everyone who helped with this. I apologize for the original mistake. I do strive to be as accurate as possible with my reporting. If someone Emails me a rumor or news tip, I always check it out before reporting it to confirm it, first hand if possible (e.g., driving by the business). If I can't confirm something first hand, I always cite my source, and, if it's a web source, post the web link (which I did in the Infinisource case). Even with this, mistakes still occasionally happen. But again, thanks to everyone for helping with the quick corrections! And thanks for all the other good news tips I've received this year.
Last summer PC Clinic closed. The building was sold, and late last year the new owner got permission to expand the building in order to turn it into a pool hall. Now that the weather is warmer, work on the expansion has finally started.
It's local sign humor time again. Enjoy!
Work on the new Subway sandwich shop in Fairfield Plaza has been underway for about two months. After painting the exterior in mid-September, visible progress has been slow until the last week or so, when new awnings went up and there were noticeable changes to the interior. It looks like it will be ready to open soon. This new shop will replace the other Subway just across the parking lot in the same plaza.
