A selection of photos from a day at the ballpark.

A magical day indeed as Greg Leatherman, Redevelopment Executive Director, John B. Kalb and Redevelopment Commission President Christopher Guerin, pose for the camera. You have to respect all three for their tenacity and their dedication to what they believe in. I know my life is much richer for knowing the three and I appreciate them allowing the photo to be taken and posted here.

Journal Gazette Coverage of Redevelopment, et. al.

By Stephen Parker, on September 16, 2008, at 8:13 am

The Journal Gazette has several articles of interest today.

Parkview Editorial:

Parkview’s Home Run
