The Sign

What started life billed as a “press conference” and later became a “rally” in support of not locating the new district court house on the site of the old Rockville Library building was a success. A nice knot of concerned citizens showed up in the middle of the day to pick up “Move The Courthouse” signs, and four [OOPS: THREE] of the five members of the Mayor and Council, and the former mayor, were all present to support the effort. [UPDATE: I guess you might want to know who. Mayor Susan Hoffmann and Councilmembers John Britton and Phyllis Marcuccio, and former mayor Larry Giammo were there. Sorry for the confusion.]


A Throng

My video camera pooped out, so I can only furnish you with a few still shots. But, Channel Seven was there with camera and reporter, so if you hurry to the TV maybe you can catch the recap!


Mayor Susan Hoffmann

Note: I have a “Move The Courthouse” sign on my lawn. I have made no secret of my support for this issue. That will not stop Rockville Central from being fair in its approach to it, and providing a forum for all sides.

    Thanks Brad. Evidently it made the 6:00 news on Channel 7. I missed it, but hope to see film at 11:00!>

    I sat through an hour of the 5:00 news - at least four fires, and assorted other news. Finally they promo’d -us — “coming up next..” But then it was over and no story. I figured we lost out to the birds. Yes, one of the fires was at a PetsMart where a vet was cocerned about birds having inhaled too much smoke; and another story on too many birds congregating and, yep, pooping all over some place in Virginia.

    Then, of course, I had to go out - to what else, pick up a kid - so I set Tivo to record just in case. But since I am Tivo-challenged, when I got back for some reason all I had recorded was the last nano-second of the piece.

    But I have a report we did well and it was good enough for UTube!!

    Thanks everyone.
