Here's the text of an email I just sent to Channel 19 reporter Scott McFarlane.
Dear Mr. McFarlane:
I caught your piece attacking Councilman Cimperman for his role in the Steelyard/Wal-Mart controversy this evening. In the piece, you have a shot of the BP station at West 14th and Clark, with your voice saying: "Along Clark Avenue near West 14th, this is the closest thing you'll find to a shopping center. Claudia Woodson says neighbors are sick of shopping at a gas station, though."
The spot where you and Mrs. Woodson were standing is three and a half blocks from a Tops full-service supermarket, on Clark just past West 25th Street. This is considerably closer to West 14th and Clark than Steelyard Commons will be, once you drive down Clark Hill, south on Quigley and into the proposed center.
But then, you knew that, didn't you?
(Incidentally, that BP is a terrible place to buy food.)
Bill Callahan
