Searching for a Positive Voice Out There


KCRG-TV9's Justin Foss just called me in regards to my blog post about the city being over halfway rebuilt! I told him we found when we walked the neighborhoods to do the survey, it really hits you in the face how far we've come! You get a positive impression when you walk the streets, knock on doors, and talk to people, a very different one than you get in some of the media reports. We found many people back in their homes watching TV! It's encouraging!!

Justin said there are still pessimists who point out, yes, we are 51% rebuilt, but that is still 49% not yet built. What say you? What are your impressions from walking through? I think Justin is looking into a news story tomorrow, but I won't be around to talk to him on camera. Would one of you like to offer a :08 second sound bite on what you saw?

**EDIT - Justin's story ran. Check it out here: http://www.kcrg.com/news/coverage/50896772.html
