A paywall is a system that prevents Internet users from accessing webpage content without a paid subscription . . . Why is Mesa mayor John Giles using a pay wall publication to talk about so-called "challenges" and "opportunities" in downtown Mesa??
OK, Who wants yesterday's news?
Here's the headline by Senior Reporter Mike Sunnucks in a report 04 December @ 4:00 a.m. in Industries & Tags: Commercial Real Estate,Education
Downtown Mesa trying to shed its conservative image via the arts and an eclectic mix of local businesses
"Trying to shed . . . ???" What kind of cocoon has he been in?
Yours truly, in a mellow way, has been on the beat on the streets here posting about THE METAMORPHOSIS IN THE NEW URBAN DTMESA in this blog for quite a while now, - they're not locked up behind a paywall if you want to read "the full story . . . there's always more to the story . . . for instance why does Mesa have that conservative image?
Metamorphosis = A Big Thing [ya know, like meta-data]
Exactly at the same time yesterday - at 04:00 a.m. - Mike Sunnucks uploads another article:

Your MesaZona blogger doesn't even try to give [not charge] whatever PBJ wrongly claims to be "the full story" - there's always more to the story + not getting spoon-fed the news.
Is this open and transparent when PBJ readers have to pay to hear what the mayor has to say about "challenges" and "opportunities" ??????????
. . . and what do other people - all engaged in THE BIG WE - have to say?
