2 More Meetings this Week with Little Notice

Last Minute Changes to Edgewater TID Rushed Through Plan Commission
Last night was one of those nights that sucked to try to cover things in city hall. I managed to catch part of Landmarks, part of Plan, part of Landmarks again, park of Plan again and none of Board of Estimates. And, the kicker, my TiVo died so I couldn't compensate. Boo.
