While I would love to write more blog entries about the 2 a.m. bar closing time and keep getting more and more blog hits, I should also focus on some other issues, too.

So let’s talk about last night’s Quality Neighborhood Initiative open house. Did anyone go? What did you think?

I popped in for a quick minute. Covering open houses like that is difficult. So I am working on a follow-up story for tomorrow. I have gone through the whole 148-page draft report (which is actually quite less than that, since about half at the end is an appendix). I liked some parts and need some clarification on a few others.

I know the public has taken a keen interest in the study (nearly 100 people attended the October public meeting). And, from what I’ve heard through the grapevine, last night also had a good attendance.
