ON THE AVENUES REWOUND, PART THREE: Anatomy of a red herring.

ON THE AVENUES REWOUND, PART ONE: Yellow lines, and what comes due.
ON THE AVENUES REWOUND, PART TWO: You actually can get something for nothing.
ON THE AVENUES REWOUND, PART THREE: Anatomy of a red herring.

Okay, I'm jabbing and feinting.

There really isn't a third "ONE THE AVENUES REWOUND." Rather, the first two are intended solely to provide background and perspective for this link to a newspaper column this week by Dale Moss.

In which New Albany Mayor Jeff Gahan still cannot bring himself to mention two-way streets without prefacing his statement with the word "possibility."

In which the fiction is perpetuated that local government and a solitary realtor have heroically turned the tide.

In which each person quoted, save one, actually has not invested a dime of his own money in downtown revitalization.

Jeeebus, agitprop like this is disheartening. Anyone got a bucket?
