Alex Cenla’s Rants and Ravings

More Bentley..

July 23, 2008 · 3 Comments

Alex hears rumors something is afoot with the Bentley. Perhaps it is closer to being bought. 

A reliable source has told me something might happen soon..someone said something about a special city council meeting…tomorrow?  . Let’s hope.

Then again it may be a cry of wolf again…

Either way, check out.

Returned phone calls.

July 23, 2008 · 3 Comments

This is just an out loud question. I have a friend who called the Town Talk News editor three days ago.

He left a very polite call asking the editor to please call him back. He also left his name,  position and number.

Now either the editor is out of town on a business trip or on vacation. Because three days + have gone by and no return call.

My question is how the paper get’s significant local news story’s when they don’t return calls.  And I hear that newspapers are in difficult times now.

The sad part is that a reporter interviewed my friend about his story more than three weeks ago and it is an important event….No story, No returned call.

It is an educational and an event related story that has an impact on the community.

He is still waiting for the returned call.. I have been told of other people who have had the same experience.

I told him, its just an oversight. But who knows…

The right to Run.

Goins can run against Smith.

I am glad to see that there will be  a little bit of  competition for a city council seat. But still I would have liked for more concerned citizens  to have stepped up to the plate rather that the same old same old…But with the predictable low, low, low, low , turn out, why bother to even have an election.

Oh well!!

Just a Thanks!

July 23, 2008 · Leave a Comment

So often when someone helps out another person in today’s world, the thank you part is forgotten or ignored. I have noticed this in the younger generation more often in their day to day  interactions.

So I would like to thank Cenlamar ,  wesawthat  and CenlaHistory for their linking of their blogs to alexcenla. We may not at times see eye to eye, but we can get along.

SO, Thank You!!

Alex
