Bruce Edwards Finally Prevails, After A Painfully Extended Battle with the Boss Godfrey Administration

Significant property rights victory for a non-FOM*

Heartwarming story in this morning's Salt Lake Tribune. We incorporate Christopher Smart's lead paragraphs below:

Ogden » It could be seen as a battle over a sign. But perhaps more accurately, it's the story of one man's decade-long war with City Hall.
And, it's been a beauty.
Last week, Ogden's Landmarks Commission approved Bruce Edwards' proposal to restore a sign on his historic C.C. Keller Building on 25th Street -- a full 10 years after his original request.
"I outlasted 'em," Edwards chortled Thursday. "And the bottom line is, I was right."

Read the full story of the smart, persistent and ever-resourceful Bruce Edwards and his painfully extended battle with with Boss Godfrey, over what should have been the straightforward restoration of an historic Ogden City sign:

• It took 10 years, but Ogden man beats City Hall

Next time you're prowling Two-Five Drive, by the way, don't neglect to check out Bruce's historic C.C. Keller Building, at 201-25th. Quite an interesting informational "gallery" displayed in his front window too, as the SL-Trib's Mr. Smart reports.

Great job, Bruce... and a hearty Weber County Forum Tip O" The Hat goes out to you this morning. The same for the new Landmarks Commission, who finally got around to doing whats right.
