Hello and welcome to the birth of The Attention-Getting Device, a blog created to talk about the many public issues facing Athens, Ohio and Ohio University.
My initial series will examine the merits and risks of a proposed retirement community next to the Stimson Avenue bridge, but that's only the beginning; at least 4 other series are planned for the near future, so check back soon, even if you're a speed reader! Comments on any post are welcome, including dissenting views - I'm hoping that with a little citizen participation, this here corner of cyberspace can explode into a raucous, entertaining, continuous town-hall meeting, a forum for Athenians to air their views about where our city is going and where it should go.
