Anyone seen it?

I guess the Times misplaced the article on the AMWV opening the job of "general contractor" up to bids somewhere.

It was in the newspaper. I swear it was. Something about costs for building the silly thing growing, "but we planned for this" or something like that.

Mr. Stout saying it's a good thing. But I've looked and looked online, and can't seem to find it.

Im guessing they must have misplaced it. If you see it, please contact someone over at the Times so they can put the article online and get the word out to the digital people.

Oh, they must have lost the pic of the AMWV concept, because in the paper they ran an image of the Art Museum in Calgary that Stout recently sucker... um.. won to contract on.

So if you happen to see either one of these, please let someone know. They might be found somewhere in the viscinity of the Times community sense, integrity, and common sense. Both of which have been lost for a long while.

You know, we really don't appreciate or need another out-of-towner coming here telling us what we should and shouldn't do with our city. You need to get over your childish 'art museum' thing. Your site has promise, but this kind of stuff spoils the rest.

Yeah, Hi. In case you haven't noticed.. Im a resident. Not an out-of-towner. I would be an out-of-towner if my taxes were not going to support local governments, if I did not vote in local elections, if I came down here when the weather got bad up north.

No, I live here. I have a vested interest in the area. SO maybe you need to realize that Roanoke is for anyone who lives here, wether theyre from here originally or not.

Or perhaps, alternately, you would like me and anyone else not born and raised in Roanoke to move out, taking with us our income, taxes, families, businesses, and everything else we contribute.

Otherwise, its time to realize that whatever you consider "those who can speak of Roanoke" is not so limited anymore.

Well, "anonymous" (so typical, isn't it?) the fact is Roanoke should THANK people like Roanokefound who offer "suggestions and the like" looking to improve this place! And actually whether you appreciate it or not, you DO actually need "out-of-towners turned residents" who not only bring their tax bases, but also their brains into this Valley.
Keep up the good work RF!
