Junction BIA Apparently the Junction BIA have fired their one and only office staff member so their office has been closed since early January. A number of her local business owners and community residents protested outside the office a few weeks ago in support of her. Anybody know anything...

My commiserations! I bet that was a frustrating project to work on - all the initial interest and excitement soon quashed by City bureaucracy. Address - Most properties have access onto a public street, not a public lane. The City would have to convert the laneway into a street (which may...

Pinball Clemons Oh please God no! He'll turn out just like Miller. Can anyone persuade Pinball Clemons? He has the manner, the attitude, the charisma and the ethnicity to do the job. The only thing he is lacking is political experience but, let's face it, that wouldn't be a problem...
