Conversation from the Township Committee meeting on May 24: (From our reporter on the scene)
Q. A member of the Public asked “Have you heard anything from WAVE?” (WAVE is the secretive group of investors that would develop the North End.)
A. Gene Anthony (Township lawyer) : “No. It’s strange.”
A. Randy Bishop : “Very strange.”
Note: About a year ago, Dr. Michael Brantley (Committeeman) said: “It’s time we take a look at all our redevelopment zones to see what we really want to do”
–The jailbird panhandler has returned to the North End near Main Avenue. Last week BF received two complaints. The mo is the same: tall, well dressed black man shows up out of nowhere and says he just got out of jail and wants to work. Or course, he really wants money. This has been going on for several years with the same guy. He uses a subtle form of intimidation, and Grovers should not have to put up with that. NTPD says do not give him money; instead call them. 732 988 8000.
Song of the week: DJ Sam Feelgood “Up All Night Long.”
Wake up and smell the roses: The beach roses are in full bloom. Go down there and take a whiff. (When I was a kid, a whiff was a strikeout, but now it’s a different aroma altogether.)
