Globe article

I need someone to explain something to me. I clicked on the news article at the bottom of the page about Dodge City businesses that were caught in a sting selling beer to minors. DID ANYBODY PROOF READ THAT????? Am I the only one that caught the error there?

Isn't it good to bar a place from selling alcohol to minors? after all, it is illegal, and that's what they were cited for to begin with. Idiots. Here's an idea, drink a instead.

I'm sure there'll be a correction in today's paper

I agree..but the way the paper reads is that after December 26, they can sell to minors again. Geeeeez they are sooooo stupid!

As the author of that article, I admit that I screwed up — a case of not re-reading my story before I left for the night on Monday. I apologize for the error*and note that a correction did appear in today's edition of the Globe.

Hey, we all make mistakes!

It's not like they disclosed some damaging information. Anyone who reads it will know it was a mistake. It takes a lot of guts to come on here and admit the mistake and apologize for it in public.

He accepted responsibility, what else do you want?

Geez, cut him some slack!!

No harm done and we got a chuckle out of it.

Honesty makes up for it in my book.

Actually they don't "Get their info" FROM this site but what Eric is doing is finding people that care about the community and can share stories about South Dillons in an interview. There is a wealth of information and experience due to the people on this site and to me...the fact that he would come and ask if anyone had any stories to share is flattering... Hopefully more people in Dodge and the area to include visitors will come to the site for information.
