There’s something to be said about hanging around as a reporter and columnist in Aurora for 30 years.mI’ve been able to report on the good, the bad, the ugly – and the good again.

All of which brings me to the news out of City Hall these days, which seems to be coming at a fast and furious pace. So much so that it’s sometimes hard to keep up with the numerous development plans, groundbreakings, ribbon-cuttings and grand openings…
