I will tell you that I hope to have a live interview for news tomorrow with Councilwoman Jenny Quade to discuss how things went at the meeting. On my optimistic side I am hoping the interview goes the way of MnDot really does care about life and our community and have decided that what they have been putting our town through was all just bad nightmare… On my pessimistic side, I see the growing frustration of absolute unbelievable thoughts and actions on the part of a government agency that is supposed to have safety and goodwill at the forefront of their minds. We will see tune-in tomorrow or Thursday to find out!!! As far as BINGO goes… COME PLAY A FEW GAMES if you can! We will give something away EVERY GAME!!!! KDOM is so psyched up to be calling numbers and seeing all the BINGO fanatics out on the town.
