oooh.. Marietta and Lebanon. I was out near Philly today. Have you beat by a few miles. Best thing Lebanon ever did recently was tear down part of their downtown for the Rt. 72 bridges. At least it's a start.

Beat? Sorry, old chap, I don't think Bob has won much of anything. If you want to be like him and pretend that a little window dressing is going to make downtown Columbia be successful again (despite every other town thinking the same thing), then go for it. Most people in this town know better and aren't going to be fooled by crap like fake trolleys. Problems are so much larger than that. -Anonymous (1 of 20).
