It’s about time! Will there be people surreptitiously selling nickel and dime bags in the shadows? (Do dealers even sell nickel and dime bags anymore?) Back in my day…

I enjoy the expletives, FWIW.

Is that a penguin flipper I saw holding the microphone up to Legget?

Editor’s note: Yeah, that was my flipper grabbing his arm before anyone else got to him. Penguin photog Ron Pace had his flipper on the “record” button. — JD (Nov 13, 2009)

Finally, some exciting news for DTSS…seems there’s been little movement in the local development world lately.

I usually enjoy reading your stories, but I have noticed lately that you use expletives in your story lines. It is my opinion that you lose credibility when you don’t keep your writing professional.

Editor’s note: Thanks for your feedback, SS Resident. Expletives are par for the course in the Penguin newsroom, and have been since day one. That won’t change anytime soon (read: ever). — JD (Nov 13, 2009)

Good question, Chaz. Who knows how that $3.5 million figure came up, but it’s what the county and LDG have bounced around since day one.

What I’d like to know is exactly how much more money must the county pony up to design this building. I’d like to think it won’t be too much, since the facade somewhat predetermines how this thing will look. But when I hear “millions”, that sounds like a lot.

“valued at $3.5 million”

By who? Hahahahaha. Maybe in January 2008.
