Letter: No need to rush into Commons plan

Whoa!

What's the hurry to alter our historic buildings and take away meeting places for our community? I suggest voting against the options proposed by the council, options one and two, and give residents time to absorb this quick decision made by the council.

I propose the Odd Fellows Hall be a recreation center...etc, and the old fire station the senior center.

What’s the rush?

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
