Very well written. I do hope others read the context of what I wrote.

I don't know if Reg remembers who I am, but we talked a few times when I was volunteering at the FRWY this summer.

While we're talking about that IV area, the only cafe that survives (Spoons closed this summer, Jet Cafe is really more of a restaurant) is the FRWY - and it's a nonprofit one run by volunteers.

There's been ZERO increase in paying customers there from the Spallaci project. It's nice having the free community space it provides, but when a volunteer-run place is finding it hard to stay financially viable, there's some economic realities that don't match up with the Spallaci claim it's "injected" customers into that area - of what? Jabronies?

editors --- Not to be too picky, but my name is spelled "Meredith" if that can be changed.
