Another option is gathering all the non members and go to EVERY council meeting. <BR/><BR/>Leading a protest march would also be interesting. I do believe you are going to become a focus of change if you like it or not. Fight the good fight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529575095156315075.post-26843304905367421682009-01-16T15:42:00.001-08:002009-01-16T15:42:00.001-08:00Heh.

Sounds like just another damned-if-you-do downtown issue. I sympathize with any and all small business owners that deal with yearly shenanigans of this caliber.Adam Hadsallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09711263040993195318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529575095156315075.post-32188332547847528752009-01-16T10:28:00.000-08:002009-01-16T10:28:00.000-08:00Penniwig,I love the spartan look for Dunc's blog. ...Penniwig,<BR/><BR/>I love the spartan look for Dunc's blog.

Sorry. That's what it looks like. It's a really bad time to be adding to my rent, by the way. <BR/><BR/>Chuck's been struggling to keep his job alive as long as I've known him. Hard to blame the guy. Who doesn't try to keep his job? He's got wife & kids, after all.<BR/><BR/>As for the paved mall, well, that's been tried elsewhere. You get beggars and hoodlums hanging out on the benches. Then shoppers become intimidated and stop coming by. Eventually, the road gets reopened and business miraculously improves.timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558612755834018291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529575095156315075.post-53396252899567727202009-01-15T10:41:00.000-08:002009-01-15T10:41:00.000-08:00You had best better get all your fellow cranks tog...You had best better get all your fellow cranks together and nip this nonsense in the bud -- and start now, don't wait for the council meeting to begin complaining. Otherwise, they will worm their way into mix and you will be paying tons of money to support what is essentially a private club.Olde Dame Penniwighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11871888334179316997noreply@blogger.com
