Pearl St. Tower Vote Passes! John Grubber one of the people who are invovled in the Save the Sudbury Water Towers posted his message on his Facebook site. It is a miracle "Great news everyone, thanks to your support, and Joel's great job setting up the art show, we managed to convince Council to vote yes, and let Cory Prouse put ads between the tower legs to raise money towards redevelopment! This is all thanks to people like you, who joined the group, contributed art to the art show (on until April 29th at the Fromagerie downtown), messaged your council members and got the community to see the towers again for the first time! Again, thanks for your support- I guess when enough of us little people speak with one voice, we can make things happen."

Thanks to Joe Kimmel who has organized an art exhibition at Fromagerie Elgin on Cedar St. (the old LCBO) that celebrates the doomed watertowers. You know, Sudbury's twin towers. The exhibit opens this Saturday, April 17, from 6 to 9 pm. There will be music and art, of course. As many as 50 artists and photographers will have work on display. I hope the mayor and members of city council attend this event, or at least see the show. Everything doesn't have to be about potholes. Some 500 people have joined Joe's Facebook site and would like to see the watertowers stay where they are instead of in the trash heap of history like so much of Sudbury's heritage.
