In today’s Signal is a copy of the very attractive and nicely designed SCV Business Journal. I don’t always find a copy laying around but today I did and it proved to be decent reading over my lunch hour (I listened to KHTS on the way home, making it a real Think SCV lunch).
I especially liked the stats on available retail, industrial and other commercial spaces as well as the stats on housing sales, starts, and such. Of course this being the SCV, there were copious articles in which business stakeholders report on themselves and their own industries, but scattered throughout were some decent opinion pieces and a good article by Signal writer Josh Premako on the Honda Performance team in the Industrial center.
But I can’t show any of it to you.
Because the SCVBJ.com website is still “under construction.”
Eight months after the Journal debuted. Bummer.
Maybe I should offer to setup a blog for the crack SCVBJ team? It’s not hard!
Jeff:
Many ads in there?
Quite a few yes
Here is a joke that is going around Democratic circles in the SCV:
Question: How will we know the exact moment when Democratic registrations outstrip Republican registrations in the SCV?
Answer: When Paul de la Cerda becomes a registered Democrat.
funniest line all month.
mike:
Paul de la Cerda is what some might call a “geography” partisan. Another example who has faded into the annals of SCV political history is Kent Carlson, one-time virulent Republican who became active in the Democratic party when he went to work for a union. A so-called “employment” partisan.
yeah, what ever happened to Kent Carlson
Rosieray
A quick Google yields material from when Kent ran for City Council and got a 1,400 votes in the 1998 election and an address in Bridgeport according to Blockshopper, so he is still around but laying low politically.
Once he joined the union and slicked his hair back with what appeared to be motor oil he kind of resembled a Tony Soprano hit man.
Paul de la Cerda is an opportunist who does not have a sincere bone in his body. You have to watch your back around that guy.
