Sunday in Outer Blogness: Violent Rhetoric Edition!
Folks, sorry Sunday has come a little late this week! I’d like to claim that I was just so busy, but really it was a combination of massive Spring cleaning, plus a bit of getting sucked in by the call of the Legos, and then forgetting (until Sunday evening) that…

Sunday in Outer Blogness: Home for the Holidays Edition!
OK, so this makes three in a row about the December holidays, but I have an excuse! Between our fabulous news-gathering Chino and our new arrival Jon Adams, I have less incentive to focus this space on the news, and more reason to focus on the personal stories people post…

Sunday in Outer Blogness: “Happy Holidays” and Other Controversial Statements Edition!

It’s been almost a year since we last discussed civil discourse and our goals at Main Street Plaza. As our community grows and evolves, we need to discuss whether/how our goals and policies should evolve. As you probably know, Hellmut and Solistics started this blog in March of 2007 with…
