“It’s discouraging to think how many people are shocked by honesty
and how few by deceit.” Noel Coward


Here is our latest act of love, respect for this community, from this community. x 272

While many scramble to control messages at various locations around town and on the net, there is one site that still guarantees, one real name, one seat at the adult table.

Mom and dad, not needed. We are adults, we can make choices of what to read and believe.

Over 7,000 residents since we started. Closing in on 100,000 county wide, working together to let people in their community know what they know, what they think, and what questions need to be asked or answered.

With the city's dedication to HEALTH AND WELLNESS I would like to thank all of the advertisers, especially the Cleveland Clinic, that has agreed with us since DAY 1.

Open, honest conversation among residents that agree, and disagree is very, very healthy to the people and the community.
A community that can tackle open tough discussions, and come back and laugh together like we have on the Deck and in print for 12 years, is a good thing.

City Hall would do well to take note, and instead of controlling many fake conversations all over, come back to the adult table and educate us, we have proven we can handle open conversations on the good news, the bad news, the tough news, and the real issues affecting the community.
