Take The Time To Read This Article ...

Hello Folks,

With all the hype and media over-exposure Kirkwood has gotten in recent weeks concerning the Justice Department Agreement signing and the second anniversary of the City Hall tragedy, I wanted to point out to you all a good, well-balanced article recently written by fellow Kirkwoodian, Bill Freivogel at the St. Louis Beacon. The 2-part article is titled, "Kirkwood's Journey."

Here is the link to the main page for the series:

Take a moment to read it.

I think Bill has done an excellent job of putting into a more realistic perspective a lot of what we heard in television reports and interviews, as well as read in other publications over the years regarding the Meacham Park Neighborhood in Kirkwood.

His article in my opinion gets a nod of F-A-B --- Fair, Accurate and Balanced.

I left my response to the article on the Beacon's web site.

Have a great day!
Joe
