I always cringe just a little when I find myself agreeing with Joe Soucheray, but I guess I'm just getting older. Today he has a great column on the DeLaSalle-Nicollet Island NIMBY crowd and their attempted use of historic designation for a strip of road for the sole purpose of stopping the building of DeLaSalle High School's football field.

Since we do need occasional reminders of what a self serving politician looks like, here's Phyllis Kahn's picture. I bet she just finished biking the entire length of Grove Street.
