The Ft Pierce obelisk

Here's the story, the obelisk is official. Add another highwaymen celebration to the list.

"Celebrate, celebrate, dance to the music......."

Any publicity is good for our little market. Any publicity at all.

from the story:
"City Commissioner Reggie Sessions encouraged residents to see the lights shining on the obelisk at night because he said Avenue D has less crime, drugs and prostitution than it did 10 years ago."

One way to look at this statement from Commissioner Sessions : Ten years ago there was a better chance than there is now to get mugged while you were trolling Avenue D for a hooker and maybe a little crack cocaine. It's safer now with less crime than there was, but keep your head up and your wits about you while you enjoy the obelisk.

Here's the photo gallery. I think I spy some highwaymen who aren't officially listed highwaymen but say that they were highwaymen and still are. Oh well, this controversy has been going on for the last eight years.

Throw away Monroe's list of 26 and make up your own.

Start by taking Sam Newton off the list. If you don't believe me, ask him yourself. He's easily found.
