Don't panic, but it's not the end yet

This is today's (6/7/2010) Albany Advertiser.
It looks good, but the block has to be sold, and the council has to ensure some of the vacant land is developed for public use, or the socks will return.
The community has embraced this site, taken ownership of its fence, festooned it with socks, and invcested in its future.
And had some fun on the way.
