Thanks to you and the NWO, we at least get the facts and are able to understand all the issues that confront us.
If council can't solicit input through the polling process, then at least, any large capital expenditure should be placed on the ballot as a referendum. Then this apathetic bunch of Oak Ridge voters would have had the opportunity to read the facts in the NWO, and folks like me couldn't ask why our opinions weren't solicited.
After all, a referendun is the highest form of solicitation, isn't it?

| I don't live in Oak Ridge but i shop there,eat there and drive thru there everyday (but I don't buy gas there cost to much). Anyway I listen to Paul Harvey alot and he says to buy a General Steel building can be put up for half the cost and the outside can be finished in brick, stone,stucco, wood,vinyl or cedar shingles if you would like. It can also be put up in half the time of a stick built building. Just a suggestion for cost cutting if they are really concerned.

Ah yes ff12... bat guano... one of our more distinguished topics over on the Summerfield MAAN/M.A.A.N. forum....
This forum has been such a wonderful tool that has helped bond all folks in the Tri-town area.
And either acronym is correct.... (I personally prefer no periods... flows easier somehow) We don't count off for spelling or typos on the playground!
You should all come on over and hang out with us!
P.S. Ask Steve A. whether or not I am psychic!!!

| I really don't think I care for the look of the Town Hall building that was printed recently in the NWO.

Hey there ff12,
I'm looking at the town hall designs right now and I like what I see. In fact, I'm very pleased with the design. It looks like a classy, historical building that will serve Oak Ridge well. It appears to be much better than the design that was considered 2 years ago. What do you think, ff12?
I tend to agree with Sandra Smith in her latest editorial regarding the town's purchase of 8 additional acres. There is nothing wrong with buying the land, but I do believe the town had enough time to at least alert the community of what was coming up.

Can't find that copy of the NWO, but didn't I read that the OR Town Hall was going to look like a building that had been added on to several times? Why?
Sorry I'm so late posting this... I've been a bit busy over in Summerfield trying to get a town hall of our own! We are envious Oak Ridge!

Ponder... you are a nut...
Thanks Zippy... I did see that. I was referring to the issue where they printed the larger pic of the town hall and I think somewhere in that article or photo blurb they stated that the design for the building was supposed to give the impression that it had been "added to" over time. Not sure I like the mix n match materials look, but just my opinion.
If you want to give the impression that the building is old, why not just build it to look old?

I agree with Cracker Jax. I think the design is basically OK (although I don't like that thing sticking up on the top at all), but I don't like the mix and match materials. It is obviously a new building and it will look new, so don't try to make it look like it was added on to over time.
If they get rid of that thing sticking up on top and build it all from one material, I think it would be OK.

Ditto zip.... Course I'm from SF and some might say it's none of my business, but just had to put in my $0.02 cause we aren't getting a town hall over here!
