I attended the Community Development Authority meeting last night and it was pretty much over my head with the acronyms which I believe was some sort of secret talk among the Authoritarians. However then some dude poked a guy code named Minty Fresh with a pin and all hell broke loose.
I have been sworn to secrecy on the rest for the time being However I did come away with a feeling that there is hope for the downtown area. HOWEVER - PLEASE - we need more people attending the City Council meetings (Tonight 7:00). PARKING LOTS are going to be talked about - let them go and fill up with garbage? - or clean them up? THEY NEED INPUT (I'm being serious on this one)- just nodding heads would work - come on people!!!
I plan on attending and saying . . . something.
If you care about the downtown district.
VOTE for Bill Bruns 3rd District (TCIP has his email incorrect so he MUST be the good guy)
VOTE for Dave Bomkamp 2rd District
These people are pro downtown.
I'll have more in the next few days on the good stuff goign on in Columbus.
Before I got in the car after the meeting I was forced to take a photo of The Columbus Carriage Works.
This was at 7:30 - pretty freaking dark out. This is dummied up for the web - in real life it's sweet but also 60 meg.
And here is another one of Columbus - enlarge this if you can to see the details (hmmm which just dooes not come through in 72 dpi)
========================================
ONE YEAR AGO TODAY.
No time to reminisce today I have a 4 hour "vision" meeting (if I could find 20 hours of outside low (or high) paid work I could retire). Last year at this time I was walking around in 25 degree weather all day taking photos.
Think they would have had some problems with the snow making machines???
But sadly I have a "Vision" meeting today and can not have a normal blog - HOWEVER - I do have something that might make you smile.
Here is a wonderful portrait of Wayne and Jeffery from 1970. What wonderful kids, so relaxed and carefree.
Now you would think that after that outstanding photo the parents of Wayne and Jeffery would have MAYBE gone to another photographer or perhaps left town.
But no.
Here is Wayne and Jeffery one year later.
Wayne is serving time in the big house
and Jeffery has not gone out his apartment for over 25 years.
BUT WAIT
How could the parents have put those two darling children through so much stress and torment?
Lets look a few years earlier - where it all began.
Have a great Tuesday while I'm enduring someones vision for State Government.

Who are those kids?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely be at the council meeting tonight! All the garbage from the parking lot flys into our yard! I hate it.
There are only a few city parking lots. It's not like it would be an incredible amount of work to keep them clean!
I love the first photo in this blog entry. The colors are great.
ReplyDeleteps- holy hair spray!
ReplyDeleteAwww... one year ago! I remember so well. Ski parkas. Muddy backyards ("I don't know, we're just following them!"). Gasps whenever an SUV was spotted (that'd be... a lot of gasps.) Happy, happy people.
ReplyDeleteThis whole process has been a fun education on film for my kid. As we slogged down the cold blocks, marveling at all the equipment, I told her that one year from this date the movie still wouldn't be ready for release. She didn't believe me. She gets it now.
Weather dude seriously needs to turn and face that sun. Talk about a honky.
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Patricks Day everyone!!
ReplyDeleteHard to believe it's been a year already!! Esp more so when it is like 70 degrees outside LOL
Those pictures are hillarious Rod! OMG! I'm sure I have a couple of me and my sister around here like that LOL!!!!
Wow what a difference a year makes. Last year we were loading my old car up to drive to Columbus…..what was I thinking! A year later and I cannot really believe it happened. It will be nice to see the move and confirm it was not just a dream, but it will also be sad to see the movie come and go.
ReplyDeleteOne year ago today I was on my spring break from nursing school with an old, broken-down Eagle Talon. I couldn't go anywhere, and my husband was filming a movie! So I frantically searched the internet for information. Lo and behold I found publicenemiescolumbus! All that first week of filming I lived vicariously through all of you who were fortunate enough to be in Columbus. And so began the birth of many friendships!
ReplyDeleteIs that a puffy shirt on weather dude?
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures Rod.
The last three are a riot.
