First, the city appears ready to buy the decrepit gas station at the entrance to Rockwell Park -- at 316 Park St. -- for $185,000. It's part of a brownfields cleanup deal. Details to follow.
Second, there's an executive session slated "to discuss negotiations for relocation" of the McDonald's restaurant in the middle of the former mall property.
One of the odd things about the site is that McDonald's owns the land on which it sits. It's not part of the overall 17 acres that belongs to the city. Moving it elsewhere is considered a crucial step in the revitalization process.
I know absolutely nothing about what's under discussion. But with luck, perhaps we'll get some light shining on that, too.

Wasn't it Ward, when he was councilman, the one that complained about the mayor having too many Special City council meetings?
Wasn't it Ward, when he was a councilman, the one that complained about the mayor having meetings at 5:00?

Guess I hit a sore spot!
Nope, 7:19 AM. Umm...no. Not really. I'm just really tired of all your redundant whining. It's kind of irritating.
Why aren't the Republicans and Barnes all over Ward for this?
Or are they planning on doing the same thing if elected?
Maybe they're not "all over Ward for this" because it's just not that big of a deal? In case you didn't notice, you are the only one complaining about it.

Or is it that they are not doing their job?
Or are they buddy buddys?
or is it just not that important?

Are you saying that openness in government is not important?
