That's the most on-the-money comment yet. This kind of project should not go to a quirky new media agency.

One is that back when Don and I were doing our best to lobby against the crooked Center Stage deal and the meals tax increase, many 'creatives' were too scared of the 'corporates' to say anything- and so today the Center Stage craziness goes on. Sadly, the 'creatives' lost influence for not doing more previously during this pivotal debate.

Secondly, while the current noise ordinance may not be perfect, it is very much necessary and has been requested by longtime Richmond citizens and neighbors.

I appologize I didnt mean to bash Boulder I like the place. Close friend went to college there - UofC obviously a big part of the community - its beatiful and hip.

If your ad firm (former ad firm I guess) lost out the bid, were confident it was at least competitive, and then learned of all the coziness between the person leading the RFP and the winner, and that fact that that person has been investigated in the past, would you want to look under the hood a little bit?

In "looking under the hood", a local firm must be savvy and careful for fear of being blacklisted for future work or possibly mistreated with some City regulation, license, or what have you (no, not the City of Richmond!). You see?

Have you been to Boulder recently? This is not a hippie town.

@PK: On 1. I think the answer is No.

I'm a Richmonder through and through, but I will defend Boulder to the end. It's much smaller than RVA but has a far more diverse range of job opportunities and a much stronger "creative community."

1. When a Richmond agency wins out-of-town business, do they turn it down because "there must be a better local alternative?"

"Let's see some real reporting alongside the sour grapes"

Ummm....this is an editorial not a traditional "news piece."

You're right, national work doesn't necessarily mean good work. But those things often matter to people in the position of hiring an agency.
