ummmmm,   I guess she got more votes than the person running against her?


as for the restaurant,  they replaced Firefly with this?  whose decision was it to shut down that location of Firefly,  the Plaza or Firefly? 

[suecasey]

I read somewhere that Firefly made the decision to close that location because it wasn't doing as well as their other locations.  So they cut their losses and didn't wait out the Plaza remodeling work.

Oh,  well.   It was nice to have the firefly downtown while it lasted

Pretty much an owner decision.
