Trimming foliage
I appreciate the beauty of our parks, but wish the city would recognize and fix the many places where the foliage is hiding important signs and do some serious trimming for the safety of drivers and pedestrians.
Thanks, Council
Thank you, Aiken City Council, for raising the water rates, trash rates and the hospitality tax. Thank you Aiken County Council for thinking about a property tax increase even though you said no property tax increase when the one percent sales tax was voted in. Maybe the next time, the councils can "bundle" all of this together.
Online billing
Happy to know that one can pay their trash pick-up bill online with Tyler's Sanitation, very convenient for customers. This convenience should be made available when paying bills with the City of Aiken also. To ensure delivery before the 20th of each month my payment has to go out the first week of each month, the same if I use my online bill payment with local bank. I have incurred late fees from time to time because of this slow and inconvenient process. Change this please.
Price difference
Why are the prices higher at stores on the Southside than they are on the Northside?
Low-paying jobs
Isn't Whiskey Road getting saturated with low-paying jobs? Can't we get something other than one right after the other? We need something different. Whoever is doing the planning needs to wake up.
Memorial Day parade
The Memorial Day parade was a wonderful, patriotic event. I'm a 77-year-old navy vet and want to thank Aiken for this show of support and appreciation for our veterans. We are honored to have served our country.
We would like to thank the sponsors of the Memorial Day parade. God bless our military. We should pray for them and the sacrifices they have made.
Nail salon
Thank you to the very special young lady in the TLC Nail Salon. I had a gift certificate but didn't realize it wasn't for the place I was in until the service was completed. I couldn't find my credit card, and this young woman paid for my service. Please know your next service at that salon is already paid for. Thanks for paying it forward.
Thanks, volunteers
I would like to thank all of the wonderful fathers and men who volunteer their time at Gloverville Elementary School. They take their own time to help the teachers and help the students.
