Celebrating Blog’s 19th Anniversary

 

  Nineteen year ago I started this blog as a distraction from my father’s heart attack and slow recovery. It was late 2004 and social media & video streaming apps didn’t exist yet — or at least not widely available to the general public. Blogs were the newest means of …

Frying Fish for St. Stanislaus Kostka

February 11, 2005 Events/Meetings, North City, Religion Comments Off on Frying Fish for St. Stanislaus Kostka
 

I’m generally not one to advocate the Friday fish fry of a local church but in this case I’m making an exception. The Polish Falcons are having Fish Fry’s to help benefit St. Stanislaus Kostka Church from the bully on Lindell. Every Friday between now and March 18th you can get a complete dinner including desert and beverage for only $6.50. If you need more desert afterwards just take a stroll down to Crown Candy Kitchen.

If you click on the upcoming events section of St. Stans website you’ll get time and location information. If you’ve never been to the Polish Falcons for an event you are in for a treat. I can guarantee you’ll have a good time!

Downtown Brown Bag Meet & Greet a Huge Hit

February 11, 2005 Events/Meetings, Politics/Policy Comments Off on Downtown Brown Bag Meet & Greet a Huge Hit
 

Business owners and community leaders Margie Newman and Alan Brunettin hosted a brown bag meet & greet for me today at their downtown gallery, Urbis Orbis.

The group in attendance was decidedly progressive and with the exception of one person, all live outside my ward. This is a good thing. With strong support from both in the ward and outside the ward money is coming in the door (via PayPal) daily and volunteers are lining up to help. Today’s group represented the preservation movement, former Metropolis officers, architects (yes, plural) and other small business owners in the city.

As you’d expect, nobody from Civic Progress was there to wish me well.

While the discussion centered mostly on my campaign we touched on issues relevant to the entire city such as updating the city’s antiquated zoning codes and setting out a vision for the future beyond the predictable 5-year consolidated plan strategy.

To Margie & Alan – thank you so much for arranging this event. This combined with all the coffee’s I’ve been doing in private homes throughout the ward will make a difference on March 8th.
