Social Media, People Got To Read, People Got To Hate

Yesterday I posted, that I wondered if Greek Village was closed? It had been dark for days I noticed while driving past. I referred to it as a great food value $8.99 Gyros. It would be a loss if it closed.

Owners, in theory, none have ever answered my calls to their cell and store, or returned them, and others DEMANDING a retraction.

Which comment? Good food value? It would be a loss? A favorite place of mine? Is it closing?

I'm figuring Tommy, the owner, never read what I posted. Just what other people replied, or what they told him.

The other day, hundreds if not thousands of people shared and reshared a photo of a heroin bust from 2011. The congratulations poured in for the great job Lakewood Police did, kudos. Which they did, 5 years ago. Messages all over Lakewood cops get 240 packs off the street. Which they did, 5 years ago. The story contained a date, the date was clearly marked. The post was on page 67 prior to the go get'em tigers comments.

People need to read.

Then of course, because someone shared a truthful good story from 5 years ago, only they thought it was new, because they never read it, even before sharing it. The Observer is a bunch of click bait...

People got to hate.

When Greek Village reopens, no one will be happier than I. My wife and I, were regulars.
