National exposure for Springfield

[untarded]

We need to get as much info as possible now, so when the time is right we are ready

If it's just historical information we want then we can just start a wiki (I've already thought about doing this).  Chris Farley and Stephen could probably spend a year full time filling it with interesting historical facts.

However, if its a marketing plan we want then we need to formalize an initiative and define our objectives.

i think a broshure, booklet, pamplet, etc would be:

1) easier to produce 2) easier to view 3) easier to distribute 4) cost less

[samiam]

I think we need to include as much about the history, the ongoing renovation, the people make changes for the better, Etc, just to show what we have going for us compared to your average cookie cutter community.

I thought I read that Truman Capote lived in the house 3 doors down from me... Not sure if that is correct. I always hear rumors about the former residents, so I'm not sure what is true and what isn't. Always heard that we were the center of the winter season hollywood, too.

There's a thread about it on SPAR's forum (the icky side of Springfield's history). Maybe someone could unlock the forum and retrive it for us.

What's the thread called, because there's a great deal of discussions on that forum about our history

[Springfielder]

I think Chris Farley has knowledge of a serial killer as well.  Chris, can you confirm?

Are you referring to Ottis Toole?

[samiam]

We do need to consolidate our history it seems to be spread out all over the place. It also needs to be posted for everyone to see

Ottis Toole lived on Market street between 1ST and 2ND at one time

I'll look at some wiki software.  Anyone have any experience researching the wiki apps available?

Heres a graphic for the SPARford Years! (2006-2009)

Thanks for your continued support and insight into our conversation.  No ice cream after dinner for you.

Here's a great one!

How about a Preservation Organization whose Executive director is actively working to demolish Historic Structures, and somewhere in the pursuit of this madness, begins to undermine the Historic Preservation Officer for the city that she is supposedly working with.

Meanwhile, a Developer who happens to be a major contributor to the 'historic preservation' organization leads an effort to drive the poor out of the neighborhood while purchasing properties on which recently demolished buildings once stood?

Even more meanwhile, the Historic Preservation organization decides to try its hand at personal life management on behalf of its neighbors and in the process tries to undermine the attorney working for the city who gave them the groundshaking opinion that people still have equal rights in the United States, no matter what real estate developers think otherwise.

Thats a pretty cool national story, and all of these obtuse and clumsy attempts at spinning the situation on the ground simply do not cover the nakedness of the emperor.

That pretty much sums it up!

[samiam]

Stephen if your graphic for the SPARford Years becomes part of springfields history, so be it. ether way it sure is funny.

Too farfetched.

No one would ever believe it.
