I'd love to see that entire strip along Stony designated some kind of special "development district."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17720378814181009888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4186587935097536129.post-20358910359405028352008-10-10T21:54:00.000-05:002008-10-10T21:54:00.000-05:00I think the Herald is trying to be more careful wi...I think the Herald is trying to be more careful with the letters to the editor. They know that the NIMBYs are falling out of favor and seem to be less heavy handed because they know their credibility is shot and people call them on their editing their letters. And I think Peter Rossi has said that the circulation is way down. And I'm sure ad revenue is down without the Co-op color ads. And the Extra seems particularly thin this week - fewer ads.edjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01593866936717576973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4186587935097536129.post-60005404892410427842008-10-09T18:58:00.000-05:002008-10-09T18:58:00.000-05:00Needless to say I hope HPP will be following the r...Needless to say I hope HPP will be following the results of this closely. I have high hopes of getting this nonsense quashed (and throwing a wrench in the NIMBY machinery, especially if they've falsified petitions, is an added bonus).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4186587935097536129.post-29551667392453826522008-10-09T16:29:00.000-05:002008-10-09T16:29:00.000-05:00Totally agree Greg.

I've always considered writing letters to the Herald, but end up not bothering since they usually just post the crazy ones or edit the good ones into oblivion.<BR/><BR/>The letters this week gave me hope that I might actually send one in in the future and have it survive mostly intact.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846075206868983633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4186587935097536129.post-48125517380917604002008-10-09T15:11:00.000-05:002008-10-09T15:11:00.000-05:00Two other people considered letters to the Herald ...Two other people considered letters to the Herald and followed through.
