Dear Editor, 
         I'd like to give a shout out to the new manager of the Orcutt KwikStop gas station at the corner of Clark and Broadway. 
          I was disturbed by the decision to install 4 large flags across the front entrance advertising Brakes, Oil Changes, and other services they provide.  Last week, I stopped in and expressed my opinion to the manager saying the flags didn't fit in with the historic character of Old Town.  To my surprise, the next day the flags were removed!  I was so impressed with the manager taking my concern seriously and taking quick action.  When I thanked him for doing this, his response was, "I’m here to serve the community.  If there's any problem or suggestion you have, please let me know." 
          That's the difference between locally owned businesses and corporations.  Please stop in and welcome Gus to Orcutt.
