It's countdown to the City Hall showdown


The electricity is building, it's the talk of the town, the tension and buzz is everywhere. Up and down Commodore Plaza, onto Grand Avenue, the talk is 5 am. At breakfast and lunch, in the restaurants and shops, people are stopping people in the street and whispering. Emails and faxes are flying.

Sides are building up. Someone said to me "There's going to be a lot of spandex there," meaning all the bicyclists at City Hall for the big showdown tonight. Little do they know it isn't about them.


Oddly enough, it's brought the Grove together for this one big issue. Different sides, yet one big issue on everyone's minds

In the old west it would be John El-Masry in his white cowboy hat at one end of the dirt street and Marc Sarnoff in his black hat at the other.

What will be the outcome? Same AM or death.
