…Or is he just messing with our minds? Who knows!
But here’s a letter the developer had his assistance write to me today after today’s column:
“You’re the best!!!
Your articles are factual and fictional at the same time and provide an incredible amount of lively discussion and pure entertainment for all. Some of my employees cringe when they read the articles because they think that you really mean it. I just keep telling them that you’re clowning around trying to make interesting reading. Keep up the good work – you’re making me famous!!
PS: I’m going to send a letter to the Common Council today based on the sincerity of your position on the Corner Nook. I’m going to ask the Council because of your article, if they would possibly delay one year my obligation to provide affordable housing on the Corner Nook site this way the Dimitrakaksis family can continue to stay in business. This way I won’t have to evict them for the affordable housing and we’ll all be better off, right?
Thank you.
Jeanette Luna on behalf of Louis Cappelli

Mr. Cappelli’s employees should save their cringing until it is no longer worth while to write about him. At that time they may really have something to cringe about.
