Ben Holder launches district 1 city council campaign

Ben Holder informally launched his campaign with a fish fry last night (I understand that the "official" kickoff is next weekend).

Nice folks. Tommy, the former manager of Southern Lights, and I had a talk about the state of restaurateuring in Greensboro and the seemingly unjustifiable rent squeeze being put upon retailers by commercial property owners.

Frank Rakestraw and I had a nice long talk about the shortcomings of local media. He is finding the ability of new media to provide an unfiltered and immediate counterpoint an important benefit.

Lots of other interesting conversation with the nice variety of people that are district 1.

Me, Kathy and Ben:


[Correction: The original title of this post said Ben was running in district 2, that is incorrect. He is running in district 1.]
