SUPPORT MARKET SQUARE!

With the recent arrest of the West's (which I think is totally wack, but whatever), there's been a lot of undue (bad) attention on their establishments downtown. I really encourage everyone to go and spend wads of cash at the Preservation Pub and World Grotto.

I can tell you one thing: the Grotto is awesome. We are really lucky to have the West's visions become reality. I hate, hate, hate that this happened to such amazing people. The West's are people I would really like to work with, to make a more vibrant, expansive, open Knoxville.

Unfortunately, our selective prosecution system has decided to quash their vision. I hope they walk away from whatever happens with renewed purpose and strength, and I, for one, volunteer to help them in whatever way I can. The West's are creative visionaries, and deserve the kudos awarded them. I was elated to hear a crowd was on hand after their arrest to cheer them as they returned to Market Square...

Hey Scott, can you blog?
