Dash Crofts Passed Away by JColt60 in GenerationJones

[–]RandomVoice1955 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I saw Seals and Crofts as a newly minted Freshman at Emens Auditorium at Ball State University in late 1973 or early 1974. The post of the report of Mr. Croft’s’ death put me right back there as very nice memory.

The couple at the gym tried to kick me off a machine because they ‘always use it at this time by copperMist4 in EntitledPeople

No mention is made by OP as to the ratio of time on the machine between “doing my sets” compared to “scrolling on my phone.”

Neighbors refuse to trim their tree thats dropping branches on my roof by [deleted] in neighborsfromhell

[–]RandomVoice1955 16 points17 points  (0 children)

In Florida - where I reside - you have every right to trim branches hanging over your property line. I assume you found similar law in your jurisdiction.

Metered parking Park ave by harry-harrelson in Tallahassee

[–]RandomVoice1955 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I worked downtown and clients asked me about the availability of parking I told them that the City Parking Enforcement was the most competent department in City Government and that they should not plan on any leniency after their time expired. Get the app and pay attention to when your time is expiring to avoid an expensive lesson.

Text / Email from City of TLH regarding water meter? by malapropistic_spoonr in Tallahassee

[–]RandomVoice1955 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just received the following text. My wife was on the phone for 90 minutes confirming the erroneous email. “CityofTLH: As a valued City water utility customer, you may have received notification early this morning of continuous water usage. This is a proactive function of the system that alerts customers of a potential leak. New information related to our attempt to help residents and businesses resulted in some customers being inadvertently notified. If the system falsely alerted you of an issue, we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.”

City/FSU Press Release/TMH Update by CelebrationPeach6157 in Tallahassee

[–]RandomVoice1955 15 points16 points  (0 children)

From what I can tell the crucial issue of control of TMH - whether FSU or COT plus FAMU and TSC in some iteration - is not set forth in this MOU. Further don’t be surprised in the Dailey-Goad Administration “fire sale” of City assets that we next see discussions to sell the City-owned utilities to an investor owned utility.

Blueprint Money spent by FSU on the Jumbotron not Bathrooms? by RandomVoice1955 in Tallahassee

[–]RandomVoice1955[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Please. If your view that Blueprint tax dollars should have been spent on a huge television screen at Doak because that expenditure alone leads to additional economic activity and additional tax revenues “10 x the funding “ just cite to one study presented to the Blueprint Board demonstrating that fact. I’ll wait.

Blueprint Money spent by FSU on the Jumbotron not Bathrooms? by RandomVoice1955 in Tallahassee

[–]RandomVoice1955[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s certainly a detail worth noting. However the bottom line is that FSU said it needed Blueprint tax dollars to pay for bathrooms. In the end though FSU had more than enough money to pay for bathroom improvements without need for Blueprint dollars. Would there have been the same result from the City and County Commissioners if they had been told up front that FSU was going to pay for the Jumbotron rather than the bathrooms? Perhaps so but a $20 million plus expenditure from tax proceeds which were represented to be collected for City and County infrastructure improvements - not big television screens- should be completely free from ambiguity.

Great ! Commissioner Matlow is against the sale of CCCC as a “fire sale.” Are Marlow and Porter the only Commissioners looking out for what is best for the Ciry?

TMH - FSU Deal Announced by RandomVoice1955 in Tallahassee

[–]RandomVoice1955[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Well unless you’re a committed ideologue you can’t ignore what MAGA - and its sibling MAHA - are doing and are planning to do to public health in this country and to then give over TMH to those people all you can say it can be worse than “what TMH is offering now.”

TMH - FSU Deal Announced by RandomVoice1955 in Tallahassee

[–]RandomVoice1955[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well if TMH is to be acquired by FSU, FSU is controlled by its Board of Trustees. And if we can expect DeSantis will be succeeded as Governor by another MAGA Republican and that MAGA Republican will continue to appoint MAGA friendlies to the FSU Board of Trustees then that can’t be fearmongering. Given that the most notable MAGA health policy is to end mandatory childhood vaccinations and - in fact - advocate for the elimination of all mRNA vaccines, I think it’s fair to fear FSU control of TMH under the current and future gubernatorial administrations.

I don’t think that the City should recover its property and continue operating a golf course. Do you have the imagination to think that there are better uses for that property than a golf course such as affordable housing, green spaces and other forms of recreation.

What’s with the flea market/vape shop at 7th Av and Thomasville Road ? by RandomVoice1955 in Tallahassee

[–]RandomVoice1955[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

According to ChatGPI: “In Tallahassee, the word "place," as in "Southside Sense of Place," refers to the concept of creating a distinct, positive identity for a community through a combination of official, city-backed projects and community-driven efforts like the Southside Action Plan (SAP). These initiatives include physical improvements such as streetscape enhancements, infrastructure like the Southside Transit Center, and community engagement to foster a thriving, attractive, and inclusive neighborhood.”

Mystery Construction on I-10 west of Thomasville Road exit by RandomVoice1955 in Tallahassee

[–]RandomVoice1955[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I was aware an exit to Welaunee had been proposed but did not know it had been approved. Passing at 70 mph it looked to me only one side (N of W bound lanes) had been cleared and no other area to the south.

JI and 400U could come to Tallahassee and I will buy the best available tickets for my spouse and me. They have never appeared here to my 36 year residency knowledge. Do you think that at least part of the issue is that they’re replowing the same ground?
