It's a Sad day for f\Fort Myers

I hope everyone is happy. The man who brought us all a failing downtown Publix, will now be the mayor of the city. More of the same. Sad. At least it wasn't the cocky wife beater who wants to save the environment, and go green all while he drives a Hummer and shamefully lies about his military service.

Stupid Clock Tower (revised)

Upon viewing the property appraiser's website at Leepa.org, the clocks appear to be part of the jail complex.
What I want to know is: why did we need 2 clocks on top of a city building that you can't even read what time it is (or even see it from 90% of the vantage points). Just 2 buildings away, there is a beautiful, older clock on one of the lower rise buildings (and you can easily read the time). That makes 3 clocks within 1/2 block of each other! I mean WTF? Why was this passed? Someone please find out how much they cost, because I want to know.

Stupid Clock Tower- Another Fleecing of Fort Myers

Did you know that there are 2 clocks at the top of the new building in downtown Fort Myers (Just to the west of the new jail that's being built)? I am almost certain that it's a city building.

You can't even see the clocks because:

1) They're way too small and poorly designed (and way too high up), and
2) You can really only see them from 1 or 2 vantage points. One, when you're coming over the bridge into downtown, and the other when your approaching MacGregor from Cleveland Ave (if you blink, you'll miss it [from both ways] because there's a tiny window of opportunity to see them). This is a fleecing of $.

I will look into this a little deeper, because I surely hope that this wasn't paid for by you and me the taxpayer.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

I just received this, and here is my retort...

This was a comment from LegalType1:

"You should move away - you are deranged and hatefilled"

Hello,

I am much more concerned than I am hate filled (though perhaps a little derranged:)

Hate doesn't do anyone any good and it is counter productive. I know that my blog comes off as abrasive, but it is nothing but truth. I don't try to fill people's heads with lies; but rather share my experience I have had living in downtown ft. myers. The city council has all but diminished the hopes of many of it's River District residents, and has been stringing people along for some time. You cannot tell me that elected leaders have helped more than they have hurt, or have put the interests of it's residents first. Ask any of the shop owners downtown; especially the ones who have been here for a long time (and there aren't many). Read the comments left in my blog and you won't find one person who believes our city leaders have steered the city right.

I will continue to tell the truth; even if it hurts. But it needs to be told. I'm sorry if the truth is offensive.

I hope that things will improve. It's just sad that things have gone the way they have, given the potential this city has.
