Metal Monstrosity

Maybe your letters editor should spend less time surfing and more time keeping current on the facts of such complaining letters.

This was a good question a week ago, but six days ago (plenty of time for editing!) the story was published many places that the seismic repairs to the Granada building required the existing telephone array to be moved temporarily to the visible side of the building while the top sunken roof was fixed.

Does the Indy receive so few letters that such obsolete outrage needs to fill up the page space?

Yes, I wrote the above letter last Friday 11/30/07, thinking that Big Telco had just dropped said monstrosity onto the Granada building, with or without permission. That same day, I got reassuring responses from Mayor Marty Blum and Councilmember Grant House that the metal entity is permitted, temporary, and will be removed in a few weeks. Barney on The Beat reported this in the Independent online Tuesday 12/4/07, so I too was surprised to see my now obsolete letter published Thursday 12/6/07.

Sorry to stir things up unnecessarily...
