Fiesta going into that old Gerland’s just strikes me as missing the mark there. I’m sure the blue-hairs in Sugar Creek are horrified at the thought.
That transit survey is a farce, like almost everything that comes out of David Crossley’s little scam. The 6th question doesn’t allow any response other than to increase spending. On the other hand the sample mission statements are perfect bureaucratic blather though, I vote that he be immediately appointed to chair an unpaid blue ribbon panel to study transit solutions on Guam.
I have a friend who lives in that neighborhood. They are not the type to shop at a Fiesta. But they would shop at trader joe’s if it were there.
