Who Cares?: Memphis Lost?
http://denisecares.blogspot.com/2007/10/memphis-lost.html
Friday, October 5, 2007. District 5 split half-a-dozen ways, with Lord Jim getting 20,000 votes, "Bob" got 3,000, I came in third with 1,794, and Mug-Shot Man got 1,000 or so! The others were in the 400s range. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Do you dare to care? Elcome to the playground. Creative input is graciously accepted. These are fascinating times!

Who Cares?: Home Stretch!
http://denisecares.blogspot.com/2007/09/home-stretch.html
Saturday, September 29, 2007. As we come down the track, the weather's Indian Summer and a change is in the air. We have heard of strange Internet rumors regarding the billionaire tycoon CEO of Graceland-E.P.E. - could he want to finally step up and buy the Pippin, saving it from the rampaging developers? Or is he one himself, requesting $275,000 of YOUR tax dollars from the current council - to build a giant gate to Graceland! Parks Committee Agenda Meeting - 5th floor. Tuesday, Oct. 2. Elcome to the pl...

Who Cares?: Luxury
http://denisecares.blogspot.com/2007/11/luxury.html
Saturday, November 10, 2007. The luxury of blogging has to do with convenience. Whereas previously, before 9/11 and the War On Tarrah, great Amurrrican families prided themselves on the luxury of their own (oftimes quirky) traditions - ranging from touch football (a la the Kennedys) to observing 4:20 (as per the Clintons during their Arkansas governorship), nowadays, whatever suffices must suffice.

Who Cares?
http://denisecares.blogspot.com/2007/07/now-is-time-for-all-good-memphians-to.html
Sunday, July 8, 2007. Now is the time for all good Memphians to come to the aid of their city! With the upcoming local elections October 4, 2007, we have the opportunity to chart a new course, set new priorities, and bring Memphis into the 21st Century. Here’s a few things I’d like to see happen:. 2) Ethics, Above All: Our city’s leaders project Memphis’s image to the world. Let’s set higher standards and become a beacon of hope, not an abyss of cynicism. 6) Promotion, promotion, promotion: Let’s p...

Who Cares?: Town Without Pity
http://denisecares.blogspot.com/2007/09/town-without-pity.html
Wednesday, September 19, 2007. I remember reading the administration's quotes (reported by David Williams, a stickler of a writer). Robert Lipscomb called the report "ridiculous" and "plagued with mistakes," but not incomplete. So the outcome: more time (and $140,000) wasted, no decisions made, no truth told. Years are going by, and our city has been hijacked by people who only cause DELAY. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Do you dare to care? CITYCitycity, a multimedia show. The City of Memphis.

Who Cares?: Like a Steam Locomotive
http://denisecares.blogspot.com/2007/11/like-steam-locomotive.html
Tuesday, November 6, 2007. Like a Steam Locomotive. Thank goodness for Councilman Lowery, Commissioner Mulroy, and Man-With-the-Plan Erickson. They secured us a tour of the park to assess the condition of the historic rides. The little engine that could (Save Libertyland! The rollercoaster ride continues! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Who Cares?: Insult to Injury
http://denisecares.blogspot.com/2007/10/insult-to-injury.html
Tuesday, October 30, 2007. It's been a long month, and finally Halloween sends us into the new phase, wondering what in tarnation is going on in this town. As part of our ongoing effort to play by the rules and help save an historic park, Save Libertyland! Has to date accomplished the following:. 1) Rescued the Carousel and Pippin - two priceless historic artifacts - from demolition and/or auction. 3) Helped provide for a feasibility study to be conducted on the historic Carousel and Pippin.

Who Cares?: 11/1/07 - 12/1/07
http://denisecares.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 10, 2007. Strolling thru the park one day. I suppose I have to record the experience, no matter how distasteful, of being led thru the park (formerly Libertyland) by a minion of Cindy Buchanan's, to see the dumpster that was once Midtown's pride and joy. There were half a dozen witnesses to this degrading group experience. Links to this post. Steve Cohen was man enough to stand up for upholding our nation's constitution. Memphis needs more heroes like Steve Mulroy, Steve Cohen, and...

Who Cares?: PIP-PIP, HOORAY!
http://denisecares.blogspot.com/2007/10/pip-pip-hooray.html
Tuesday, October 2, 2007. Today's City Council meeting was a GAS, GAS, GAS! The City Council voted to "preserve and protect" the historic landmark rides we saved - Memphis's Grand Carousel and Zippin Pippin rollercoaster - and we all went home with big smiles on our faces. Value vs. Vacancy - that is our GOAL. More later on the vision of Liberty Gardens, and our new non-profit coalition! Must go celebrate w/Team Liberty. CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU, DENISE, AND ALL OF TEAM LIBERTY! October 2, 2007 at 3:22 PM.

Who Cares?: Dog Days of Summer
http://denisecares.blogspot.com/2007/07/dog-days-of-summer.html
Tuesday, July 24, 2007. Dog Days of Summer. So I got to work on a resolution. The document has been signed by a diverse mix of local non-profit directors, youth camp organizers, ministers, and community garden experts. However, it has been bumped from the agenda twice now down at City Hall. Here is the resolution, for perusal and comment. Just to show that when I am charged with a task, I complete it. It's a tad long-winded, but I have never done this before, so apologies to all. WHEREAS, the existing si...
