[MidwayWoods] Annexation Meeting

The Midway Woods Neighborhood Association is hosting a meeting to discuss the potential annexation of all or part of our neighborhood into the City of Decatur. This meeting was prompted by an announcement by City of Decatur officials that they are currently considering annexing a large portion of Midways Woods, several streets north of Midway Road, into the city limits. We will also discuss whether or not our residents would prefer to request that the entire neighborhood be annexed as opposed to potentially dividing the neighborhood into two sections, one inside the City of Decatur and one outside. If you wish to vote and/or weigh in on the issue please plan to attend. We will meet at our usual location: Columbia Presbyterian Church at 7:30 PM on Wednesday, August 1.

Well, being as how with my 1st DM comment I was also hellbent on jerking a knot in everyone’s chain on behalf of my n’hood (recall the PSWC debacle? :0/), I can totally relate to what Beth was doing– sometimes you gotta enter hard or your message won’t get the consideration it needs. The problem’s when someone won’t acknowledge that they were harsh (which Beth has explained) or when they think it’s going to work out well if they stay stuck in a combative mode.

You’ll cool off after a bit, and hopefully warm up to her eventually. Us feisty women gotta stick together! :0)

Deanne, I just find it hard to take the concerns seriously because she came on here with an agenda and it really bugs me. I love you, too :), even though I am heated up!!

nelliebelle- I shouldn’t have put words in your mouth, BUT: this is NOT you. Get exasperated and irritated all you want with Beth about the rest, but to not acknowledge what Beth unexpectedly revealed because you don’t like how she chose to made her case or to say she did it to score points is just plain wrong. (And damn it! The nelliebelle we all love enjoys making very dramatic statements every once in a while too!) Would it hurt to give a little latitude and focus on Beth’s very legitimate concern about the possible splitting up of a neighborhood?
