Just writing to remind everyone about the highly important City Council
runoff election TODAY between Laura Morrison and Cid Galindo.  They
could not be more different:  one a neighborhood advocate (Morrison)
and the other a developer (Galindo).  Please vote today!

From another list.... I had heard that Shipe pool (the closest one to our
neighborhood) was still empty after scheduled time.
Here is an explanation from another list

Hi Neighbors,

To this point, I have intentionally stayed out of this issue--- mostly because I could see both the awful and the wonderful in the now-withdrawn proposal to redevelop Howards'.

But I do care enough about our neighborhood and our larger democracy to say this:  Dissent Is A Good Thing.

to sell his home to a developer to build a super 2 would this same argument
apply?"

You are right. A lot of people contributed to the Triangle discussion.
