com Zone: RSBlock –>Tracy Snyder 39 Robesonia teacher: “I’m a child care teacher and I feel it makes it way too convenient to bring their kids in here. Posted at readingeagle. com”GASP!! Beer sales in a supermarket! What’s the world coming to!?! Children and elderly potentially being exposed to vulgar and intoxicated people! h the horror!! Nelly quick!
