A Note to New Readers

Welcome.

You might think, given the recent content posted, that what I mostly feature here is the visual.

Not true, not true at all. In fact, the overwhelming majority of stuff found here consists of- Well, as the man in 'Hamlet' opined, 'Words, words, words...'

This blog was started because of one particular local issue, the clearing of a chunk of popularly-perceived-as public land. All of these posts are tagged 'Battlefield Park Clear-cut'.

The second urge to declaim came as a result of the paid parking débacle in Stoney Creek's 'downtown'; I was compelled to write a ten-part series on 'What is a Downtown'. All posts in this collection are tagged 'The 'Downtown' Issue'.

And the most recent motivation has been the loss of the production facilities at the Stoney Creek Dairy. Or, more specifically, 'What's going to happen to all that land, now?' These posts are tagged as 'Local Issues'.

I hope you find something of interest for you here, some elements of commonality, even the odd bit that you take exception to. Despite my rep of being a strident curmudgeon, I welcome your contributions.

I'm always interested in feedback, differing opinions, even contrarian blasts...as long as they're delivered with decorum...with panache and flair always helping.
