Those of you who know me fairly well probably know about my frustration with our city’s Chamber of Commerce. They are playing music over a loudspeaker from 8 am to 5 pm EVERY DAY. The problem here is that I am 2 1/2 blocks from the middle of downtown. And maybe half a block away is a speaker that is pointed right at my house. I hear this music in… Continue Reading
