Dottie's Walk April 13 2009

Tonite we went on Dottie's Walk. We had a pretty large group which included the Mayor and two candidates for City Commission Dale Finch and Charlie Flickenger. As the photos show there are some structures in disrepair and the property Friends of Millville cleaned up was littered. Some of the problems seen were the same as March 16th when the media showed up to the walk. There were no reporters today. Well its now late and stating to rain. Will go to a scheduled protest against the 27 Million RT 49 &55 off ramp project tomorrow at 7:30. Its at Rt 49 and Wade Avenue. Then off to the Cadidates Forum at 7pm at the American Legion.

Yesterday after work I went to Center City to get some items and found a Jolly Roger cap. It was overpriced but it is very unique. I plan to wear it on 3rd Friday this month. SummerFest is this weekend and I am looking forward to it. I hope they can keep the Holly City Family Center open. A well-placed source gave me the run down on what has been happening

"For your information the city committed $70K for 5 years and the BOE committed $50K for 3 years. The city actually paid the $70K fee for 7 years. Last year Commissioner Shannon put together a report that demonstrated that the services that the city and it residents received did not justify the $70K. It is also a ½ cent on the tax rate. The center has lost over $200K last year and is projected to lose approximately $225K this year. There were some very smart and talented people around the table yesterday lets hope they can put something together to keep the center open. "

We will see...
I then met up with Dana, Maryann and some friends of Don. We got to catch up on recent events and the like. After that I went on Dottie's walk. I do see improvements on 401 Vine St. There were NO kids hanging around and that is great! Lets us keep this up.
Well, back to work now...
