Is that a "Mold'O'Rama" from Brookfield Zoo?

No...



...but this is.

I hope part of TBS's plan is to line the streets with Mold-A-Rama machines. They could reproduced village trustees, presidents and employees instead of animals. Who wouldn't want a plastic Vicky Hase or Pete L. on their dresser? I'd pay for that. Maybe they could get one that could make the horse trough, too. Those would be cool...and bring me downtown.

TBS is holding "small group interviews with representatives of existing organizations that have involvement in the downtown including the Chamber of Commerce, Economic Development Corporation, Downtown Alliance, Go Downtown!, the Village, and a community group." The interviews will be focused on how these "organizations work, strengths, weaknesses and how activities might best be handled in downtown GE." Quoted from email invitation.

I can see it now. A village meeting in December and TBS gets their report to the village board. Rep. Norton tells the vociferious little minority (average residents) to shut-up it's to late to weigh in. Norton & Ms. Vicki high five each other, but sadly trustee Norton breaks several bones in his brittle hand, but still manages to extend his middle finger to the residents in attendance. Ms. Vicki takes the report and places it on the shelf next to the 10 year plan. And we still won't have a single Mold-A-Rama machine.

With the information we get from updates regarding the progress of TBS reminds me of the old rhyme: Yesterday upon the stair I saw a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. Oh I wish he would go away!
