News Around Town

There are some happenings and events around Gilbert that I thought I would summarize and provide a link to the supporting article.

Vision Airlines is offering a Wednesday flight from Williams Gateway to Las Vegas; this is in addition to their Friday and Sunday flights. If you need to get married in a hurry on a Thursday, now you can.

About 7,400 of the 80,000 registered voters retained Les Presmyk as a member of the Town Council. I think The Mister said that mail-in ballots were a large portion of those votes.

Tonight, Joe Johnston's plans for the new Liberty Market will probably be approved by the Gilbert Redevelopment commission. He's working his magic as a restaurateur in the historic distict of downtown Gilbert.

I don't even want to talk about the Suns game last night. Heartbreak Hotel! as Al McCoy would say.

Several folks have asked me how Basha's is coming along. There are workpeople in there hammering and doing construction-type things, and their statement was that they will open June 30. If I hear any more detail than that, I'll pass it on.

If you like Jazz, there will be a free concert at Highland Park Elementary, located in Higley Groves, this Saturday night. It's being put on by a sax player named Cliff Wright and his group; they are members of the Methodist church which The Mister's mom attends, and they are starting a new church in the area. This is their chance to meet folks. The concert runs from 7 to 8:30 pm and they are offering free refreshments, always a plus in my experience.
