Way to go Didj!

Let's see some more of this on the weekend. Come out to Farmers Market and interview people. We should be collecting signatures all weekend in very public locations.

Fantastic, Didj - way to capture the voices of the community. keep up the great work.

Great piece of guerilla reporting, Didj.

Thanks guys [flashes smile].

Maybe some more of people after they sign the petition as to why they did.

I just read spk's recall notice to subway joe. Awesome! Awesome!

Way to go Didj! This is awesome.

I think for varied perspectives and more of a cross demographic interviewing some people in front of Von's might be beneficial. Not that you would get a different answer, however, you may and diversity is healthy.

Anonymous: Thanx. More intallments coming soon. Even though I have found folks who are OK with Subway in Ojai, they've refused to speak on camera (except 1). On the flipside there were a few who were anti-Subway and camera shy too.

You have a bright future at Fox News.

Not Fox noise. Mike, gave full honest disclosure of the facts about the interviews, that honesty precludes him from ever getting a job with the boys controlled from one down under.

Thank you very much my *anonymous* secret admirer but I don't need Fox, I own 3 TV channels.

We lived in Meiners Oaks for a few years and hold a huge fondness for the Ojai Valley. When I told my 14 yr old son about the potential chain infiltration, he said with much emotion, "a Subway in Ojai? Why??" We live in N. CA, and we say "No!!"

drove through that former location of Ojai a few days ago -- couldn't find the town spirit anywhere -- 'Ojai' -- new construction and new buildings everywhere -- each direction I turned got another shopper stuck between my teeth (to paraphrase Raymond Chandler) -- bums, drunks, not homeless, accosting you at every public place -- that is when I could get off the road, or across it, or get anyplace -- could still, here and there, smell the orange blossoms -- when the roaring trucks and racing pickups and leafblowers and jackhammers and background traffic fumes didn't drown out all sensation and caring all together ...

As one of the "sour grape" city council candidates
Mr. Devito smears in his frustration of the threat
of recall as a city council member, the only thing
I really sour at is a council that perform their
duties protecting Ojai so poorly that a recall
petition is neccessary and going forward. I observed
so many transgressions by this governing body in the
past few years that I felt compelled to run against
them, that even inexperience could yield better
results than what we are now seeing. We have indeed
seen Mr. Devito's violation of the public trust, much
to his and other council member's astonishment, that
someone is actually following them acting on the
behalf of a community that, by the way, cares about
how and by who they are being represented. More sour grapes, please!
