Aug. 14: Costco Gas Station, Wellness Hotel, Foodie Fun

Plus, fire without matches.

1. YOU SAID IT >> The struggle over the Costco gas station in Wheaton continues. Here’s one commenter’s take. Do you agree or disagree?


“Costco should Do the Right Thing. Their application for this gas station was based on (very expensive!) supposedly-correct air pollution information. Now that that information is corrected to indicate they cannot meet the EPA standards, they should acknowledge that fact and take the gas station application off the table. Their corporate philosophy and history demand no less.”
