...‘I was hoping he would leave Coatesville. It's not a good place for a young black man,’ Stretton said... "I warned him this summer he should leave for his own safety."
‘He wasn't going to leave. Jonas felt rooted in Coatesville,’ Stretton said...

Then, on Oct. 21, a gunman ended Suber's life with eight bullets. The gunman shot him at 9 a.m. in the doorway of his Walnut Street home.”

Developer Don Pulver must begin land development for his proposed Marriott Hotel and multi-level office building within the next 60 days or lose $4.6 million in state grants.
Pulver last week asked the city Redevelopment Authority (RDA) to speed up finalizing the deal that allows him to purchase the air rights for the hotel and office...
"These grants are coming to end of their useful life," said Pulver."

One “bloc head” is fitting into a round hole Kareem switches back to Republican

Kareem switched back to Republican. As of Monday he was asking for help in his election as a Democrat.

Kareem was a “bloc head” and helped to make the city what it now is. Now he says that he is remaking his “bloc head” round.

Hmm, I wonder how much different in style and content Eric Brown is compared to former Republican Chair Richard Legree. Mr. Johnson’s and Eric Brown's records may indeed speak for themselves.

Far-Reaching Impact of Global Economic Crisis

The primary near-term security concern of the United States is the global economic crisis and its geopolitical implications. The crisis has been ongoing for over a year, and economists are divided over whether and when we could hit bottom. Some even fear that the recession could further deepen and reach the level of the Great Depression. Of course, all of us recall the dramatic political consequences wrought by the economic turmoil of the 1920s and 1930s in Europe, the instability, and high levels of violent extremism. Though we do not know its eventual scale, it already looms as the most serious global economic and financial crisis in decades.

Hour Two
At least twenty-six fires from Arson have been reported in Coatesville,
PA since last year. A state of emergency has been declared and many
people are homeless in the already economically challenged town of less
than 12,000 people. Two alleged arsonists were arrested last week. We
speak to Philadelphia Inquirer writer KATHLEEN BRADY SHEA for an update
on the town. Then, local singer and composer, VENISSA SANTI, comes into
the studio to explain how she integrates her Cuban background into
original songs and creative arrangements of jazz and Cuban standards. In
2008, she received the prestigious Pew Fellowship in folk and
traditional arts. We'll listen to a few songs from her upcoming release,
"Bienvenida," a bilingual album of Afro Cuban, jazz and pop soul songs.
It will be released April 21st on Sunnyside Records. Listen to the mp3

At last nights Coatesville City Council meeting:

Ronnie Suber talking about the wonderful job that Matthews and Walker is doing and being highly critical of Ed Simpson for criticizing Harry Walker. And, chastising Marty Eggleston for having secret meetings with the DA.

“Mr. Simpson, you call Mr. Walker a liar. Be professional what chu do.”

“Mr. Simpson are you racism?”

“Ya’ll need to go after the DA and say Mr. DA; how come you didn’t indict Janssen and them for the corruption that they been gone to the city?”

“Mr. Eggleston I don’t walk wit you do wit da DA like you do undercover. I don’t go under cover wit the DA like you, wit da secret meetings.”

Mr. Suber is referring to the very public meetings that Joe Carroll is having with Coatesville citizens on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.

Listen to him here:

It looks like Ronnie’s alleged “enforcer” duties moved up a notch after cousin Richie died. I looked in the back of the room and did not see any police.

Bill and Harry must feel great with such a fine upstanding citizen like the great orator, Ronnie Suber speaking out for them.

The clock is off the wall

It's 8:25 and the Coatesville City Council meeting hasn't started yet. An irate citizen took the clock off the wall and put it face down in the center of the city council table.
