Congratulations to Collinwood. Cindy Barber, Mark Leddy, Arts Collinwood, Northeast Shore Development Corporation…please name names George, including yourself.

I wish my own neighborhood could get the same kinds of positive coverage. And, though you may have issues with your council representative Mike Polensek–I have to say from my perspective, he must be doing his job, which is more than I can say for my own representative.
