I do read other blogs, articles here, not just write them, and this one is one that affects the emphasis strategy to develop Modesto into a Regional Cultural hub, quality events, a vibrant entertainment scene, appealing to us lucky to be here and enjoy it, but also to the outlying region, pull those visitors in, bring in some dollars not just to downtown, to Modesto.

Does filling a seat and holding the position constitute being a success?

Sure, in a game of musical chairs but not for our Mayor.

What's our mayors name? That was the question I had to look up on the web to find out because I honestly didn't know. His impact on Modesto has been so small that I don't even know his name.

Modesto cops raking in the dough!

Thu, 02 Nov 2006 22:46:09 -0500

I am not trying to be all negative here, but I have to say something about an article in the Modesto Bee today. As you know, there are many, many cops downtown on the weekends. That is a fact that cannot be disputed.

The cops feel safe again!

I was downtown last night and I could not believe what I saw. You may recall me writing a while back that The MPD had met with local business owners and let them know that cops would not be walking downtown because they did not feel safe even though they are armed with batons and guns. They instead would be taking to the streets on horseback, motorcycle, mountain bike and whatever else that would keep them detached from downtown patrons.

Yo, fools
1. boring
2. unoriginal, even the no cruising sign at 1010 tenth
3. you ain't helping. Adds to chief Wasden's list of why so many cops downtown are needed. In your case he makes a point.

We need input on this one please.

I need a little bit of input today. At least that is what I think that I need. I spent a good deal of time on the streets this past weekend talking to business owners, business managers and business patrons and both groups seem to agree on certain issues.

Downtown Friday Night

"I don't intend to stop posting on Modesto Famous. It is too important to our community."
-Chris Ricci
That is what Ricci had to say last night when he pulled me aside outside of The Fat Cat to talk to me. People in the community seem to think that Ricci and I don't get along for one reason or another but that is not the case in my opinion. We even posed for a photo together last night. It was great to spend a few minutes with him.

I had a very interesting night last night. My friend and I were hanging out downtown (sober) last night just to see what sort of things of really happen down there on the weekends and what we saw sickened us.
