Town hall meeting

The city commission is having a town hall meeting at 7 p.m., next Tuesday, the 24th, at City Hall.
Just so there isn't any confusion. It was originally set for a different day, and we had it in the paper as a different day on Tuesday. Tuesday night they changed the date.
Im not mentioning the other date to try to avoid any confusion.

They have had a couple of these forums and they have gone rather well.
But they have been dominated by hot button issues. There was one last fall and it was all about the windows.
I know people like to talk about hot button issues, but if that is all people talk about, there may be some really worthy issues that are passed over.

Its going to be at city hall, which is different. It will not be televised. Or recorded. City officials say they want to gather information, and they feel some people might not want to talk if they are going to be on TV.

Just wondering why banning the skateboards from downtown sidewalks has come down to just skateboards and doesn't include bicycles? Bikes are just are prominent downtown as skateboards, just as dangerous to foot traffic, and are supposedly banned from the sidewalks. And its not just kids riding them on the sidewalks.
