Yes, after I'm done with my arm chair quarterbacking and the woulda, kidda coulda stuff, I want to get past the criticizing and focus on what's important -where do we go from here? I hope the City organization realizes that they have a trust/confidence problem with the general public (as do many levels of government) and makes a greater effort to fully involve the community as to what, where, and how much to spend on a new City Hall. 
Ah, The Shadow. You've got a couple of years on me, but I still remember lying in bed listening to Sgt. Preston of the Yukon, Dragnet (before we had a TV), The Lone Ranger, etc. If they weren't the good old days, they certainly seemed simpler. And I like simpler these days.
