Flashback: Gookin Rips Urban Renewal

 (The Spokesman-Review)
(The Spokesman-Review)

In a Huckleberries print column from Oct. 16, 2007, I wrote about this photoshop re: Hayden's urban renewal plans that Dan Gookin (a council candidate then & now) had posted in a comments thread on Huckleberries Online the previous January. You can read the original text here. It realized for the first time how much Gookin opposed the local version of urban renewal when I saw the original Jan. 5, 2007, parody post.

Question: Don't you think the Hayden urban renewal project turned out a bit better than that?
