Episode 199 - The Weekend Wrap-Up | Central Ward Meeting, Write-In Candidates and Dream Tower Chance Encounters Sal went down to cover the City of Bainbridge Island, Washington Central Ward Meeting. There were 9 residents in attendance. Discussed were Suzuki, Traffic, Affordable Housing, and 60 seconds on Diversity and Equity. We discuss write-in candidate, Cynthia Bellas and the "interesting" way she decided to enter into the Central Ward race. We hope to find out all the reasonable questions... Who is she? Why now? What makes her different? Does she really think she has a chance as a write-in candidate? And... In addition, we cover: Rocky Horror Show will be starting their new run of shows this weekend at Bainbridge Performing Arts, a chance encounter with Gary Bedell and the iconic Dream Tower at Battlepoint Park and finally some Political Talk on the upcoming elections and why Bainbridge Island is never likely to become Mercer Island. We were notified there is a artist rendition of Sal or his doppelganger in Room 712 of The State Hotel. We did a little research and it is the image of Artis the Spoonman of the famous song by Soundgarden. Bit of a resemblance. This episode was sponsored by Outcome Athletics, Home of the Best Personal Trainer on Bainbridge Island, Bethanee Randles. And... Storyville Coffee Company, Home of the Best Coffee on Bainbridge Island.
