IS IT TRUE? October 17, 2011 Part 2

IS IT TRUE that the City County Observer is pleased to announce that we had a record week for internet traffic in every category measured?…that in the often watched category of pageviews that we exceeded our previous record by a full 18% and added a similar number of first time visitors?…that we would like to thank the Vanderburgh County Democratic Party for the ridiculous antics now known as “FLOATGATE” that helped accelerate the growth of the City County Observer’s readership?…that we also had the highest weekend readership ever and that thanks are in order for our “Moles on the Ground” at the Four Freedoms Monument whose dedication to making the United States better kept the phone calls and text messages coming in all through the night?…that we assure you that our “Moles on the Ground” and the people who participated in Occupy Evansville do not as a majority support the 13 goals published by the Courier and Press and authored by Neil Barnett last week?

IS IT TRUE that Alexa.com a third party internet traffic monitoring service reports that the City County Observer has expanded its reach by 40% in three months and time on site by 24% to an all time high of 97 minutes and 25 seconds per visitor?…that Steve Jobs predicted in an interview with the Wall Street Journal in 2005 that print media would not exist by 2012?…that while we agree that at some point in the future that print media will disappear that once again Mr. Jobs is ahead of the curve?

IS IT TRUE that Evansville’s de-facto home team in Major League Baseball, the St. Louis Cardinals are heading to the World Series after pulling themselves from the jaws of not even making the playoffs a couple of weeks ago?…that the series starts in St. Louis on Wednesday night and that the Tri-State area will be tuned in and watching?…that we hope that WOW actually takes the time to pay attention to the details of their guide so that we do not miss the first inning because of their mistakes again like many people did yesterday?

IS IT TRUE that a small company from Indianapolis that was just an idea and a dream three years ago had a very big week last week?…that if Angel Capital or Venture Capital would have been available in Evansville three years ago that this business would very likely be thinking of a new headquarters and engineering center right here in Evansville?…that alas the money did not come but some Evansville people may just be in for a big pop in equity for having seen the potential and made the investments of both time and money in this fledgling technology company?…that the City County Observer shall be the first to make the formal announcement of the fruits of last week when all permissions are granted?

IS IT TRUE that there is a meeting of the Evansville Redevelopment Commission tomorrow and that the published agenda seems uninteresting from a downtown Convention Hotel or McCurdy start date point of view?…that is any shenanigans are on the agenda they must be in the category called “other business”?…that the Vanderburgh County Assessor’s Website finally really does show that the taxes are up to date?…that it also shows that on November 10, 2011 that the fall installment of $10,268.66 will be due?…that by that time the financing should be in order, permits should be pulled, and construction will have begun if City Centre Properties LLC is correct in its last presentation to the ERC?…that we wonder for all of this to really proceed according to statement that there must be a plan somewhere with renderings and a timeline?…that we would love to see the layouts and renderings and to be able to confirm that permits have been pulled to get this party started?

IS IT TRUE that speaking of shenanigans and SNEGAL activity we have a mole alert coming regarding some of the behind the scene manipulations within local government to grease the skids for the Wesselman Park Indoor Tennis Court Proposal?…that there will be much more on this published this week?
