Good Wednesday Morning, Those political signs are still along Route 301 in Fahnestock State Park. Just thought I’d mention it… Yesterday afternoon I finally closed my account with Bank of America. Back in June I wrote an article called, “The Thirty-Eight Billion Dollar Fee” about my reasons for divorcing that evil financial institution and it has become the most read article at the website proving that I’m not alone in my beef with the American corporate banking system. The bank officer I worked with yesterday, Ryan Coakley, was very nice about the whole thing and as I related the story to him as to why I was leaving a 40+ year relationship he appeared unmoved by the banking world’s efforts to screw the common man.

He owns the land and has for years but where’s the playground and the 12 acres he was supposed to set aside for construction of the YMCA? Anyone? Hello Carmel! Is there anyone home?

In particular, I have been able to witness the renewal of downtown Historic Liberty Street, at one time a nearly commercially vacant street, now bustling with numerous small businesses. The city of [...] [...] |
