@BigWhiteHat - actually, the comment you're referring to in the Journal article only applies to the sports complex: "Brooks has said he would likely hold off construction of a West Side sports complex until the split question is resolved." The phras…

Very happy that this passed with resounding numbers. @BigWhiteHat, interesting point about the funding post-school district split. I understand that if the west side split is to happen, they need to stop gerrymandering the borders around the low-per…

Icaldero, I doubt you are a parent on the westside so you may not know what westside parents have to endure when it comes to over crowding and the sports stadium. APS has been only to happy to take the money they get from the westside tax base and p…

I voted no. I think there's way too much pork in this; like the sports stadium on the west side, and yeah, I am another one slammed by tax lightning. But I do think we as a city have to put some money into the school infrastructure. If this fails, I…

For what it's worth, I voted Yes. :)

Hi Johnny, I appreciate the discussion... I'm not sold 100% on a Yes or No vote but someone asked for an opposing view so I thought I'd play devil's advocate. After all, it's all too easy to blanket vote Yes for anything related to schools (that's…

Lunch at Cocina Azul


12th & Mountain NW--It is hard not to have noticed the interest in this corner location ever since the announced closing of the Sunshine Cafe over a month ago.

Hey John. Great to hear from you! I am glad you contacted me. I just changed jobs and am staying a lot more local to town after 4 years of pretty constant travel. I am a member a local computer user group that will meet on DukeCityFix so I figured I would join, but did not expect to immediately find a few blasts from my past. Good times! I still have many fond memories of "Roach City" and Monte Vista...

I looked over you blog from your cycling trip. That looked awesome.

Wow, Jon. It was so good to see you with Doris. Your house looks wonderful. It looks like you. Take care. I hope to see you soon. Hopefully, I will have a good year. One never quite knows at Mental Vista given its cast of characters. Carri is working as an events organizer for Richard Romero. Love, Holly

Thanks so much, Jon. Now I feel like I can go back to Il Vicino and I will pass the word to all my friends and family. I appreciate your involvement.

Today (Sunday) I went by and the sign, which is a yellow triangle that states they are doing audio and video surveillance, is still there. I am not a blogger and not ready to delve in but I hope the word gets out. I think it is shocking.

Jon, I need to alert you to what's going on at Il Vicino. It has always been one of our favorites, especially because of the ambiance. BUT, have you see the sticker in the front window that says that video and AUDIO surveillance is taking place in there? Can you imagine?! People having private conversations are being recorded and their personal interactions stored digitally in some file.

There are a lot of people who are saying they will no longer patronize the restaurant.

Please publicize this and help us tell them that until they remove these surveillance instruments, we will not eat there or even get take-out from them.

It's a real affront to our Nob Hill neighborhood.

Thanks,
Judy
