They were read on the air this morning.

Your comment makes sense so I guess it is no slam dunk. I read your comments on thje air this morning to make suyre the public was aware. <BR/><BR/>But I have to tell you kids still do play pickle. I n fact, most of trhem prefer it to baseball. It might be fun for them, but it's no fun for a 55 yr old fart. Myabe that's one reason why it's so much fun for them.Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-1152537555606767392006-07-10T09:19:00.000-04:002006-07-10T09:19:00.000-04:00Bernie, you are right ON!Where I live, they just p...Bernie, you are right ON!<BR/><BR/>Where I live, they just paved over the baseball field at the township park to put the new District Magistrate's office there.<BR/><BR/>When I bitched to one of the Commissioners, he said that there are "plenty of other parks" for kids to play at. Not within walking distance! I told him he's gonna see a lot of kids getting hauled into that new DJ's office for doing drugs and petty crimes because they have nowhere to play ball anymore!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-1152535824520814522006-07-10T08:50:00.000-04:002006-07-10T08:50:00.000-04:00Silly Bernie, parks aren't for kids, they are for ...Silly Bernie, parks aren't for kids, they are for paving!<BR/> I finally have the LVPC Slogan:<BR/><BR/>PAVING UOR WAY FORWARD!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-1152532351081523152006-07-10T07:52:00.000-04:002006-07-10T07:52:00.000-04:00Bernie, kids don't play pickle any more.

A municipal building would never trigger private sector dollars to get the grant. I don't think that would be the best use of those kinds of grants b/c no private money will ever come into play. <BR/><BR/>That said, building in the park sounds like a bad idea.LVDemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07359661408192860813noreply@blogger.com
