Bill What were you thinking? I have been attending our parade for over 30 years. I hope to never see a parade like this again. Those two Taliban machine gun pick up trucks could have made mince meat of me and the entire street if even one of the participants got unhinged. Live ammo? Really? What if they were scared by a firecracker or bottle rocket and started shooting at parade watchers? They looked and acted mean and had no place in our parade. Epic fail Duane

Greetings Mr. Mayor- I live in Bloomington and am a proud, eleven-year resident originally from San Diego. I am writing this unsolicited email to you regarding an idea which struck me recently. I think Bloomington should consider making the block-long section of Kirkwood Avenue between Walnut and Washington Streets a pedestrian mall. Barricading this short stretch to through vehicular traffic would pose only a minor inconvenience to motorists, but would add much to the inclusive, friendly and walkable downtown. Cities like Boulder, San Diego and Louisville have dedicated short segments formerly automobile-only routes to this use, and results have been positive. Please give this admittedly notional concept a moment of your day! I appreciate your time and wish you all the best in your new job! Sincerely, Timothy A. King Bloomington, Indiana

Dear Mayor Hamilton, I'm sharing a recent article in the New York Times regarding Canadian community groups sponsoring Syrian refugee families. I am aware that President Obama has until September 30 to meet his goal of accepting 10k refugees by September. I'm also aware, unfortunately, that our governor has turned families away. Would such an effort (as described in the article) be possible in Bloomington? As a member of St. Paul's, a parent at St. Charles, and an IU staff member, I feel strongly that Bloomington would have enough welcoming hands and homes to make such an effort possible here. I would appreciate hearing your thoughts. Thank you kindly, Cate Racek 1202 E. Wylie Street Bloomington, IN 47401
