I've been in Chesterton the past few days and Awesome Car Wash (near Meijers) has been running help wanted ads in the Chesterton Tribune. I haven't seen any ads in the News-Dispatch. I suspect there is something more afoot than cheaper rates at the Chesterton Tribune. Not quite sure what to do with this info, but I know I won't support a business that does not attempt to hire locally.

If I was a business owner in M.C. I think think I would look elsewhere for summer help too. This whole town is full of "do nothings"

So Markus, do you live here?

It could have to do with the ND's recent slide into a piece of crap. Unless the C. Trib also sucks. In which case, I got nothin'.

Hope that helps.

I agree with Tim. I'm sort of a classifieds hound, love going through them just looking and sometimes I'll pull the trigger. The ND's is so sorry, I don't even bother, just brings you to third party services and with very little in them.

C. Tribune classifieds are not online as far as I can tell. That limits the circulation, but maybe that's the idea.

Well, from what I understand, it's very expensive to buy space in the N-D and the H-A. I'm sure this place has a limited budget and can't afford to buy space in the local papers. My guess is they went with the closest "local" paper they could afford.

I took this to be a classified ads thing. If it is, they're not paid ads, are they? Hmmmm,,,,

They do have an ad in the N-D advertising their business, we are just not good enough to work there.

humph!

If that's the case, then I'm with ya, Edgy and I won't wash my car there either.

I like that place on Franklin near Jiffy Lube. It's a little pricey for a car wash IMO, but they do a durn fine job of getting the car clean inside and out.
