<div style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12px"><div>While we are on the subject of Jemal, I didn't want this to slip through the cracks. The hole in the parking lot for the power conduits is a serious hazard. Kids playing in the parking lot on the weekends and/or cell phone junkies could accidently step into the hole and injure themselves. Plastic tape just doesn't cut it. A moveable chain link fence with the concrete feet or something similar is needed to prevent injury. I mention this to the Mayor last night and I didn't want him to forget given the zesty work session. I'm hoping he'll contact Jemal and let him know. Otherwise, I'll do it.</div>

</div><div>Jeffrey, Please tell me you were not being sarcatic here in the above sentences. Many times the MUTC and the Town officials cannot make it to the RBA meetings, so sometimes the RBA can't make it to the MUTC or Town meetings. I for one, work most evenings and weekends. Morning meetings would be great, but won't work for anyone else.</div>
<div>Just to let people know: The Riverdale Business Association has been involved in town projects from its inception. </div><div>They made large donations for that great clock you see at the town center. They supported the intial start up of the Farmer's Market. They started the Festival of Lights. They had the first Arts Festival ever in town and were the first to acknowledge the arts and artists in the community. They support and participate in Riverdale Elementary school, They clean and fix homes during Christmas in April. They have planted the planters on Baltimore Blvd. And I can go on and on and on. It's a great organization. </div>
<div>If they miss a meeting, please excuse them. They are doing good every day of the year.</div><div>Respectfully,</div><div>Audrey Bragg<br><br></div><div style="clear:both"><div> </div></div><br><br></div></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica;font-size:10pt">

Lou, <div><br></div><div>You make too much sense to post here. Stop it. </div><div><br></div><div>In fact, other posters would know more about what is going on in Town Center had they attended last Monday evening's Economic Development Committee meeting at the Calvert House. It was OPEN to the public. We did notice that no one from the Riverdale Business Association joined us. We missed them since no one wants to keep a secret from the town's businesses. We want the town to thrive together!</div>
<div><br></div><div>And, as always, attendees LEARNED new information. Such as that during another public meeting the previous week, members of the M-U-TC committee sat in chairs still warm but the RBA's meeting minutes before, and voted their approval of Douglas Development Corp. quest to erect stylish screens over utility (gas in this case) meters being placed on the Queensbury Rd side of the building. Approval clears the way for WashGas to bring in a gusher of natural gas service within the next month or so. And even Ray Charles could see that PEPCO has dug a super trench for enough electricity to power an elevator and a bunch of businesses. Yes, a lift is on its way. Why? A letter of intend has been signed with a big tenant -- 4,700 square feet -- in the wings. And, of course, the drum is being pounded for more tenants to fill out the rest of the slots. Perhaps the next complaint about Town Center will be there's "not enough parking spots." </div>
<div><br></div><div>By the way, Freddie and Susan Salimi have done a very nice job refurbishing the Calvert House to mark its half-century in business and folks ought to consider dropping by for lunch, dinner or a drink. </div>

Not wanting to degenerate into personalities and questionable language, which has gotten this discussion in trouble before, but:<br><br>Last time I walked my dog through town center, I see Jemal is spending money to get utilities installed in the corner property. Jemal has let the Farmer's Market, Christmas Market, Theatre group use his building and electricity. The arts Council have used his windows.<br>
<br>Jey boarded up his windows when the town pushed him. The weeds were cut after code Enforcement gave him a warning. Has this really been going on for 35 year?? It is time.<br><br>I'm just saying. <div><div><br><br>
