In other related good news, you might not have noticed that the Chair of Friends of Two Bridges, Hazel Patton, is also being honored as the 2014 "First Citizen" by the Chamber of Commerce.
Guess who @SalemChamber is honoring as 2014 First Citizen? Clue: She's a master at historical preservation. http://t.co/UgiQa0MPXi #SJnow

She's been involved with other bridges as well, saving an old house from demolition.

Yes a good call.
If it's a meaningful sign of change then, presumably that means they chamber will also come out against destruction of Howard Hall.
Ha ha ha Ha ha ha Ha
I don't think it's a sign of change.
Just recognition for a decent, honorable person of good faith who has made a big and tangible difference.
(Let's keep this post and thread snark-free. There are plenty of other places here on the blog for criticism. The Chamber wins this one purely on the merits and that's worth celebrating.)
