We DO Have "More Important" Things.......
As if the city didn't already have enough time to waste, along comes this latest "feel-good" idea. The Summit City is now "officially BRANDED" (that's a scary thought...brings back visions of Auschwitz and Dachau, where they tattooed or "branded" all the people in the camps).
Fort Wayne has a new slogan....inspired to promote businesses and people into moving here...and it does (sort of) roll off the tongue nicely.
FORT WAYNE - ROOM FOR DREAMS
Now tell me that doesn't provoke a sense of calm....of serenity...of hope.
Damn shame it's not the TRUTH!
And in lieu of "truthiness" (as is always stated on the Colbert Report), I've come up with some slogans that I feel are a tad more appropriate to the city, it's populace, and it's overall demeanor.
Strap yourselves in...'cause this will be a bumpy ride!

Fort Wayne - And so neglect becomes our ally
May I add, all of the above.
It's time to come together.
WE believe
in the future of change for this city,
county in the name of...Change.
Jeff:
Nice one...right on target!
And I would add that ANY change for the better might entail making some decisions which might cheese off a few folks....
Getting back to societal BASICS would be (imho) a damn good start!
