Wow! Charles, I have to tell you that I'm impressed. You weren't kidding when you told me that Mayor Brad reads this blog of yours.
Or, it's possible that he's keeping his eye on my petition at http://www.PetitionOnline.com/yksta/ and sees that it's just passed 300 signatures since the Gleaner article a couple of days ago. Mayor Brad must be slowly realizing that people really do care about Heritage properties and want someone to force Irving to fix the station.
Suddenly Brad appeared from nowhere and was all over the radio today talking about how appalled the City is at Irving and what they have allowed the station to deteriorate to.
I'm really glad he is pressing Irving to do something! I'm wondering though, how is he doing this? Is it by sending letters to Irving? Or leaving telephone messages? Maybe Mr. Woodside pops into Mr. Irving's office for coffee and a firm talking to?
Whatever Mr. Woodside is doing I sure hope it's more effective than what the City has done for the past 10 years!
One thing about my petition that folks may not realize is that it is being signed by people from all over the world! That's a pretty large audience watching what's going to happen. I sure wouldn't want City Council or Irving to mess up on the international stage! How embarassing could that be? The internet is a wonderful thing.
I hope Mr. Woodside doesn't think that today's radio news flurry will prevent him from getting his own personal copy of my petition. I'll be popping in to see him just like the other folks on my list. Whoa, just hit 302 signatures as I was writing this!
