Ryan Winkle Finds A New Mission In Life: Video Producer

Just to make sure you can't keep a good man down for too long, Community innovator/activist Ryan Winkle, who ordinarily does the extraordinary,  is getting back into the public-eye in his own way. . . and no doubt is looking happy, positive and up-beat on a new career tangent:
Winkle has produced his own video that's already been viewed and watched by more than 350 - it sure beats the YouTube viewer stats for those keeping track of those ever un-popular Mesa City Council public sessions and meetings where we never care to know what's going on except for paparazzi-headline grabbing Kangaroo Court-public meetings where no members of the public were permitted to speak.
The Winkle-produced video shows the pop-event success that 2nd Friday Night Out has had for years as a once-a-month night-time attraction to fill the usual empty streets and sidewalks - they come, they walk around, they may shop and eat/drink for a few hours and then they go!



Every 2nd Friday Night Out - Downtown Mesa, Arizona is a fun adventure with creative themes. Its fun thinking about how Main St has and hasn't changed over the years. I often laugh at the funny way our downtown crew met and how things came about. I always have fun and see a lot of people I know. I feel great seeing such a large crowd walking up and down Main and knowing that it was all driven by a small groundswell of us who showed up and tried.
  • Thanks to all that have put themselves out there.
  • Thanks to:
  • All the small businesses that extended their hours and hosted events and artists.
  • All the residents and neighbors that collaborated on projects and gave your time.
  • All those who believed in our grass roots placemaking efforts that is breathing life into Mesa's Downtown.
  • Thanks to Suzanne Woodford for continually organizing this event on your her own time. 
Here's a teaser for the readers of this blog

Messiah Mash-Up : Tongue-In-Cheek New Testament "He Is Risen"

In another strange twist of what is now the dysfunctional and chaotic, corrupt, confused Trumpian Dystopia, the current tenant in The White House, who is temporarily occupying the Office of the President of the United States has turned history on its head by declaring that the nation-state we live in now worships God, not government . Is this mebbe Middle Age onslaught of Dementia for real estate tycoon Trump?
Has the Age of Enlightenment and separation of Church & State taken a dark turn under the tutelage of Trump? 
The whacky statements were made at a Value Voters Summit, organized and supported by The Family Research Council that every other president has avoided like the plague.
Most pundits and commentary acknowledge that the Prez is catering to "his base" to hold onto religious zealots and whose high regard for the institution of marriage has made him enter into this holy sacrament three times in succession.
The PT Barnum of American Politics is headmaster who training all the GOP elephants to stand on their heads to perform to his control - either that or out they go!
