Call up the Hardy Boys!  Nancy Drew!  Encyclopedia Brown!  There’s a mystery afoot!

OK, so it’s only really a “mystery” because I’ve yet to ask anyone who might know.  But hey, it’s the weekend, and city employees won’t be back in the saddle until tomorrow.  So I thought this might be a quicker way of getting an answer.

The least few days I’ve noticed all the newspaper, real estate, automobile, etc. vending racks have disappeared from downtown. For at least the past month, they all had notices on them that their permits were due for renewal, Maybe they’re been removed per City Code Sec 86-23?

Or MAYBE it’s all part of Decatur Metro’s sinister plot to rid the city of all other sources of information!  Bruuhahah!
