The Edgewater Stays Afloat: Now What?
The Edgewater Stays Afloat: Now What?
During the all-night City Council meeting to address all things Edgewater, I kept waiting for someone to say, "It's just a hotel, Gosh." Like Jon Heder channeling his Napoleon Dynamite character. I mean, if we could get Bob Harlan....

You would have thought the Hammes Company was trying to build a sweatshop given the pure odium of some of the opponents.

The mayor noted his name was indeed not on the resolution). Full Story full story
