I seem to have missed most of the people from the list at Juneteenth. I
worked the parade from about 11:15--both sides--campaigning is great
exercise. After the parade, I talked to people in the food area (between
eating the spicy chicken and rice) and in the information/organization
area. (Wandering the crowd and working the parade sidelines is a lot
cheaper than riding in the parade or having a booth and you get to talk to
a lot more people.) I had to leave at 1:15 for a family event.
My count of candidates/office holders:
the 4 major candidates for Mayor.
Rep Greg Gray (Northside)
Park Comm. Rochelle Berry Graves
Annie Young
Me
Since I had to leave early, I probably missed some.
It seems that a lot of people want better service at the North Regional
Library (not surprising considering how dead it seems.) People seem very
interested in better (including Sunday) hours.
