So, after reviewing some of the plans and the project, decided to see that something positive will be done with the Current Space that its in right now. So, thank you.

Gentleman and we had a nice conversation. Turns out hes a longterm engineer and architect for the city. And he was telling me a lot of really cool things that hes done and the projects hes been involved in and the city is a beautiful place. Oh, and before i forget id like to invite everybody here november 27th, i think thats thattion, to alcatraz for a sunrise sail. People line up at 4 oclock in the morning. Usually people arent doing a whole lot at 4 oclock in the morning so come on down. This gentleman told me a rot of wonderful things. I thought it was great they had such architects and concerns. But i dont understand why they would not be an Environmental Review. What would be the reason as to why not . And im listening to these people complaining here and talking and im reminded of an old statement those who seek to save their lives, and i think that includes their comfort zones shall lose them. This is the third meeting ive been to today. I saw 300 native americans and supporters
