Being from Ontario, I am well-versed in the way of the developer, especially the big box store etc. Bigger is always better there and there are very few towns which strive to protect their heritage buildings. It's amusing to me that in Europe, buildings built hundreds of years ago are still standing, but here, once a building reaches 100, it might as well be condemned. It's because only a few select people care about these sorts of things, and that's a shame.
I'm definitely not anti-development, but there should be a strategy. Apparently, there is, but if there is, why is there so much in-fighting on council? Don't answer that. AJ mentioned the viewplanes from Citadel Hill today. When I run up there, it's astounding. I love seeing that view of the city, especially the water. I don't want one more thing blocking that beautiful view!!! I totally agreed with Andrew today; one way to revitalize downtown Dartmouth would be to build some of these world class buildings over there. Anyway, it was an interesting discussion today that generated a lot of calls.
Tomorrow on the show, AJ will be speaking with local jack of all trades - Candy Palmeter. I've never met her, but she's a friend of the Rodenhiser. You know what we say on the Hotline - if you're a friend of the Rodenhiser, you're a friend of the Hotline!
Sorry to be blunt - but this weather SUCKS. Summer in Atlantic Canada, isn't it wonderful! If tourism numbers are down this year, we can't even blame the government, which is no fun at all. This is strictly weather related! Let's hope the weather starts to improve for the Tall Ships, getting under way later this week.
Stay warm!

Good Evening.
The Show this Morning was extremely enjoyable is was nice to listen to all those who called in Laughing and talking about the past,Well done!
In regards to Rodney and his so called "New" Media Room I find it some what ironic somewhat funny how quick he was able to find $ 600,000. to build the Room.
In my opinion there is only one reason why he is making the change Control. If he is able to Control the Media he is able to control access and the message.
It will be interesting to see how the Local Media responds?
Have a good evening.
