Ask, and ye shall receive.
I've been asked multiple times to spend a Saturday show discussing the Bank Street Armory.
So, as we all know (who follow the issues in Fall River) there are two current councilors who have taken a position on the Armory from the outset; Linda Pereira, and Bradford L. Kilby.
Linda is an advocate to keep it, and Brad is an advocate to sell it.
Linda and Brad have graciously accepted my invitation to join me this coming Saturday on the WSAR Weekend Update to discuss the issue and take your phone calls.
Tune in this Saturday, from 9am-11am.
