Back to when the Civic Arena was new and the Bruce Springstine was at Syria Mosque, or to be able to go downtown to shop at Kauffmans, Hornes, Gimbles.   I would much rather shop in the old stores in downtown Lancaster than the freaking malls which require me to drive miles and miles to get from one to another.   For Pittsburgher's, Syria probably occupies the same spotlight at Penn Station did for New Yorker.

Bill Volker posted a great item on liberal San Francisco today to a dozen or so of his friends.   I am not going to be guilty of forwarding it all over the place but if any of you want to read it, harvest the address above (art wheeler is a nom-de-plume for Bill Volkmer) and ask him to forward to you what he sent out this morning titled "The Liberals are never happy."

And perhaps also how many realize how much their taxes might go up if they had to pay for fossil fuels to run the network and how many of the protesters are clueless?
