Yesterday, it was discussed on here that the Wisconsin GrandSons of Liberty was hosting a candidate forum for the 6 candidates running for 2 posts on the Franklin School Board that evening. It was also mentioned that the GrandSons of Liberty is, more or less, an organization that follows similar principles to that of the national TEA Party movement. This was important to mention due to what ended up transpiring last night. Out of the 6 candidates, only 2 attended the event and answered questions.

Doing the presentation was myself, as CCD's President, and Mike Soto, who's on the CCD Board of Directors and whose employer, Continuum Architects, donated its time and talents to assist CCD in continuing to mold this concept for our community.

Last week's news of the future of Southridge generated quite a buzz. So much so, that this website and Facebook page collaborated with Citizens for Community Development in creating a poll asking you, the readers and fans of this site, what you wanted to see in terms of restaurants.

So the polling began, and everyone had a restaurant of choice. In one week, over 2,500 votes were cast, and over 50 restaurants were named as choices. But only one restaurant could take top honors as the "most desired". See who it was below:
