“That's a lot of information. Big understanding. Yeah, it is. It looks like good progress is being made. Captain Black, can I make you the unofficial spokesman of the task force real quick? Thank you. So I make the assumption, I look at this and I see it looks like we're making good progress. It looks like we're taking the points that were given to us and that really pointed direction has been taken on each one. Would you say that is an accurate assumption from your task force that is being met in a satisfactory way? Yes. Any questions?”

“Kind of related to that, and this was maybe last year at a Main Street meeting. Someone had gone, you know, would go out and see different municipalities come by and kind of talk about it. And there were a couple, I couldn't even tell you where it was, but the remedy to that was almost like a shepherd's hook on the side of the building where people could hang their sign out. So it was only, you know, this size kind of cloth sign. When they were open, they just put the sign out, and you could see it standing on your sidewalk looking up, and you could kind of see the signs that were out. It's…”

“I have just a couple things. Let's see. Just want to point out, I think some of you may have seen Jim's excellent synopsis of the Go Gaston Forum that we attended recently. Miles, Jim, and myself were there to see everything happening in Gaston County. Sure, having read Jim's synopsis that you know is a lot. There's a lot going on. We've got a lot of construction projects that are going to be impacting us. Bridge on Wilkinson is going to be impacting us a lot of things.

He's got 45 volunteers, student volunteers, which is a huge turnout. Chick-fil-A is bringing food, the whole big thing. If you're around and up, stop in, say hello to everyone. I'll be there.

“It was amazing. That is amazing. Like the one they had in Tallahassee. But it was good to see them bring that to completion. A couple other things. Bill and Abby homecoming is October 2nd through the 4th, so I expect to see a lot of them. It's also coinciding with parent weekend, so I expect to see a lot of activity around downtown students. Is everyone going to go to the football game? Say again? Is everyone going to go to the football game for homecoming? Maybe. Do you invite them?”
