    "Its," not "it's" (i.e., contraction of it is). Seriously, people! Get a primer on basic grammar and word usage, and then USE it.

    Think the Mayor of Rumson is having second thoughts about the modifying/ clarifying language and "this is not a guarantee" remarks in his follow up letter to the organizers?. The Vails were dealing with private individuals in Rumson, who then needed their local politicians to "sign off" This miscalculation gave the organizers a chance to come back to Philly when it became clear that the City really does love them and they would be missed. It would be a mistake to think that this was a game of chicken. So let's hope that the Fairmont Park Director will stop trying to strangle the golden goose. If the City hadn't finally taken their concerns from 2007 seriously, this event would have moved. If not Rumson then Camden or Mercer or anyplace where they wouldn't be seen as a pocket to be picked
