		<description><![CDATA[Over the last week, Central Avenue has a hot topic with the St. Petersburg Times’ editorial encouraging artists to take over the 600 block. And once again, they mention the efforts of City Councilmember Leslie Curran. So, once again, I must remind folks how city councilmembers, including Ms. Curran, ruined that block to begin with. To take credit for any burgeoning artist scene now is, well, infuriating.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=alexpickett.com&#038;blog=6295563&#038;post=1042&#038;subd=alexpickett&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

I did not igore the subject because I hate free speech or love Baywalk, or any version of these two. No, I avoided it because the whole damn thing is a non-issue.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=alexpickett.com&#038;blog=6295563&#038;post=967&#038;subd=alexpickett&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
