No city council meeting tonight. Our elected officials are dutifully celebrating "National Night Out Against Crime." Please let me know if you see one of our beloved council people out with a flashlight and carrying a banner. $20 bucks to anyone who e-mails me a picture of said councilperson first. What are the chances that at least a couple of them took a vacation out of town this week? (I would.)
They outta be picketing the Grandview Hotel tonight, could help take the spotlight off the fact that the City will not win its court case against the owner, or ever get that rat hole shut down.
Update (and happily put in my place): The local 10:00 news showed Bob Manning, Third Council Councilman, and Ray LaHood, congressman and guv wanna be, at Nat'l Night Out Against Crime festivities in the East Bluff. Old Town South resident/activist LaVetta Ricca (Would someone throw this lady a parade? She sure deserves one.) held festivities in her neighborhood, but Clyde Gulley was either not in attendance or didn't make the news. Mayor Jim Ardis wasn't seen at Night Out Against Crime activities but instead started today's Run for St. Jude.
If your mind is too open, your brain will fall out. Warning: Names, identities, descriptions, and pictures have been changed and/or used to protect the innocent as well as the guilty. PollyPeoria should not be used or quoted as a source for your senior college thesis.
