Personal Commentary - a splendid proposal - CM
Click on headline for story with photo(s)

Our Downtown would once again become a "destination" rather than an uncomfortable, unsafe and unsavory pass-through.

We can change our destiny but we have to get beyond partisan bickering and an unreasonable, selfish clinging to the status quo. - BJF
