Now that is great.<br /><br />Yes, from the sound of your day to day nuisances there, I wish they would send some of the bike patrol your way. In my agency, they moved them around--obviously they will always been put in downtown areas. I think I would have made a good cycle rider--getting paid to exercise is a good deal to me. <br /><br />And your criticism of downtowns is spot on--they all had it, but decided to let it get away. Now, the non-big city downtowns that I see work because a college or university is within walking distance and the students and workers keep all the restaurants and little shops afloat. <br /><br />Enjoying the 70 degree days here.

When the big push was going on for the new ballpark downtown and the surrounding condos (don't say "what condos?") these idiots paraded into the neighborhood meetings and took over the podium - one after another. Didn't you know that without downtown condos and hangouts for the upwardly mobile young people, Fort Wayne would wither and die? As a result, there was such a rush to own the condos that they literally disappeared!<br /><br />BTW, if you check their website, they hold meetings and get-togethers in all sorts of places, but few are located downtown.gadflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219461694806089345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33342813.post-64724577204986372332014-07-31T17:15:20.587-04:002014-07-31T17:15:20.587-04:00I'd go with W&D's back... always liked...I'd go with W&D's back... always liked the Hutner's Paris jingles, too.CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33342813.post-44427200821172047592014-07-31T14:09:02.289-04:002014-07-31T14:09:02.289-04:00John D.:

I would not complain if the nights were a little warmer, however. I kind of worry about my garden crops.
