So, how convenient was my convenience center for voting today? The actual voting went smoothly and quickly, but the overall experience was less convenient than the old way. My nearest center, Mike Marr Gym, is twice as far from my house as my old precinct polling place. Knowing only that the Gym was a convenience center, I went to the front of the gym. There a sign said to go down the stairs, but no stairs were visible. The front doors, which could have led to stairs, were locked.

Lots of construction at the airport these days, plus activity related to the current filming: planes, busses, and cars. Wow.

The Readers Forum could be an exciting place if more people knew it was here and became users.  As a start,the Optic could feature the forum in one of Tom McDonald's columns.  Then they could give the forum and the rest of the web site their own little blurbs in the "We've Got You Covered" ad and other house ads.  Then add location information for the web site to the obituary section, the individual columns, the editorials, and maybe even relevant stories.
