The article below is from the website raisethehammer.org, the title of the piece, “Up The Escarpment”.

The fellow cuts a wide swath, with his generalities. The writer also has the ability to read minds… “Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men….The Hammer knows”

Attacking one’s fellow citizens, requires at the very least, a well-crafted argument, otherwise, “if you can’t say something nice”… Zip it!

Up the Escarpment

Jason Leach

Finally, I saw a pile of these signs last night on Scenic Dr. The sign has pictures of ugly “commie blocks” with a cross-out line through them.

Their website does a good job of trying to take an ‘environmental’ angle and make it sound like residents want to see this area protected as some wildlife reserve. In actual fact, they want a gazillion single family homes and associated four car driveways and two car garages to be built.

Hopefully the city holds their ground and realizes the potential of such a great site overlooking the city close to downtown and easy biking access to downtown. From this location it’s about a 10-15 minute ride to Locke South and Hess Village.
