  Hi Theresa,

  You are right. There are definitely more questions that I have but I'm not sure if age is relevant. They are not young adults if that is what you wondering. I wanted to ask certain questions to the Asian Pacific American Chamber of Commerce, because I thought they would have more expert opinion on the matter. Those answers probably would have lead to more in-depth questions for Thomgekum. However, they did not respond to my phone calls and messages.

  Thank you for your comment and concern. As a journalism student at the University of Maryland, I appreciate the opportunity to learn how to report better and fill out any holes there might be in my articles.

  I think it is sad that so many people doubt the capabilities of young people. As a 20-year old (I may be bias since I am not far from their age), I think when young people are given responsibility and shown the utmost trust, they do not take it lightly. Let's be careful not to assume that all persons under 18 are "children" and that persons who pay their own taxes always make better decisions.

  Does a place really need all that parking if there are so many residential spaces around it? Can't patrons just walk to the possible business?

  Like Carrie, I could see it being a seasonal produce store or and ice cream shop. It is a historical landmark that adds a little character to our typical suburban town. Who knows maybe it actually sell cider again like it did when my family first moved here. The only reason I think the business owners stopped selling there was because there was a lack of possible business there without the new residential spaces behind it which hold a lot more people now ( or possible customers) than the trailor park that I think was behind it before.

  I hope it isn't moved, for the sake of keeping Germantown a little less bland or typical.
