Is Columbia South Carolina Ready for a African-American Mayor?
Columbia, SC (WLTX) — Seven of the eight candidates running for mayor gave their vision for the city Tuesday night.Voters filled a banquet hall in North Columbia to hear from those seeking election for mayor. As each person entered, they had a chance to write down a question of their own for the candidates.Each mayoral hopeful was given two minutes each to answer a series of those questions. Topics covered included the bus system, law enforcement, and how much power a mayor should have in office. To finish up, each candidate shared their number one priority if elected. Below you can read some of what they had to say.”I want to make sure that each one of your children and grandchildren have the same opportunities I had as a child. Our focus on our campaign is clear, we want to focus on, our priorities will be making sure we have a safe city,” said Steve Benjamin.”You want safe, secure streets and homes and you want to know that your money is being spent responsibly by your city government. If you don’t have those two things you don’t have confidence and you don’t have trust,” said Steve Morrison.”Trim the budget, you know, get rid of any unnecessary items. Clean is the crime free neighborhoods, and of course that comes from funding the police department,” said Sparkle Clark.”When I’m mayor of the City of Columbia, everybody will be heard, not everybody will be agreed with, and at no point will an individual “want” overwhelm a collective good,” said Kirkman Finlay.”The first thing we have to do is fix Steves Graffiti the budget, period. We have no idea how much money we have, we have no idea where it’s going,” said Gary Myers.”My priorities are number one take care of the budget and our finances. Number two take care of our city employees. You gotta have city employees who care and want to stay here to take care of you,” said Joseph Azar.”If we can have true civic involvement, and we can make people feel like their government does care about them, and does want to listen to them, I feel like that’s the solution. Because right now there’s not any money,” said Aaron Johnson.Columbia’s elections take place April 6th.Your CommentsRead reactions to this story Report item as: (required) X Obscenity/vulgarity Hate speech Personal attack Advertising/Spam Copyright/Plagiarism Other Comment: (optional) yatahey wrote: Who won?2/2/2010 11:45 PM EST on wltx.com Recommend (2) Report Abuse Permalink anchor425 wrote: lol…now we get a new stooge…..hummmm vision for the future??….wez goin back to the 30’s 3rd world time…..if we are lucky enough to hold on to it…if not Columbia will be back to the stone age in no time…….look around !…soo how much smoke where theses guys blowin at us?………………hang’em all and bring in a fresh batch…………………….capt.k.fred2/2/2010 11:49 PM EST on wltx.com Recommend (1) Report Abuse Permalink yatahey wrote: I have a question.

AMAZING book!!! alot of good shots from alot of LA’S best! i highley recommend this book!!!
March 6th, 2011 at 11:52 pm
Graff is a big part of the L.A culture (if you live here, you already you know this.) Do yourself a favor and buy this book. There are a lot of good insights to how and what got the graff ball rolling, and where it might potentially go.
Big up’s to those cats from K2STN/LABS RI1,GB88,VX,CL,SHN,CRTN,GL,DFR,TLR…etc

Ample photos and interesting text…a fine book to own if one is interested in graffiti art in the LA area
March 7th, 2011 at 11:22 pm
This book covers many of the crews and writers of LA graffiti, past and present. There’s history, interviews, and LOTS of photos. The DVD has even more images on it.
I hesitated to review this books since I’m not super-knowledgeable about the graffiti culture, but for me it was a revelation, filling a lot of the details of the whys and hows of the work, and showing me more pieces that I’d ever be able to see in person, even if I drove around LA for a couple of weeks.

From the immortal words of “Starfish and Coffee”…”If u set ur mind free baby, maybe u’ll understand”….That is the best way to sum up Graffiti Bridge. U have 2 open ur mind and take the journey with Prince. Have a couple of glasses of red wine and share ur bed, watch Graffiti Bridge and immerge urself in the mystical world of Prince. I enjoyed the trip and let Prince take control and really get n2 tha movie. I loved hearing and watching “Elephant and Flowers” and “Tha ? of U”. It’s some of Prince’s best works incorporated into film. The message of Graffiti Bridge is simple, DON’T GIVE UP HOPE. I loved being in Prince’s mystical Graffiti Bridge world, it’s better than any reality I know. I wish I could live in Prince’s world. There are no rulez in Paisley Park. Graffiti Bridge is a wonderful lil film and I enjoyed being a willing participant in tha journey. It all comez out in tha wash………..

Somewhere is the cogent idea to this 1990 follow-up to the classic Purple Rain. Unfortunately, it cannot be found in this weak script that is loosely taped together with numerous music videos.
Prince reprises his Purple Rain character, The Kid, who is now a performer and co-owner of a club, the Glam Slam, with his former rival (Morris Day). Business turns sour when The Kid is “asked” by his partner to pay shakedown money to the mayor. So, in a quest for truth, justice and full ownership of the club, The Kid challenges his business partner to a music battle.
The plans for the movie started in 1987, but delays – primarily due to casting problems – kept delaying its production. Prince was king with Warner Bros. due to his incredible marketing power of cross-promotion within many categories of pop culture. But the movie was a box office bridge to nowhere and showed that all that glitters is not necessarily golden when created by this incredible artist.

Graffiti Bridge is for die hard Prince fans. The music is great. The action takes place on a small set. Prince should’ve incorporated more scenes on location instead of filming most of the movie on one small set. Ingid Chavez acting is not that great. I enjoyed the movie because Prince and Morris Day and the Time are fun to watch. I recommed the movie to all Prince fans.

I always felt that PR was a rather tacky film; the only thing I did care about it was, of course, the music. That seemed to be the main reason I didn’t try this movie, thinking it would be another PR. But that just isn’t the case. Yeah, it’s the sequel of sorts, but it’s much less a movie about Prince/The Kid as was PR, and more Prince’s music taking life on film. It takes on a musical film quality, too; instead of just seeing Prince and the Time on stage, you see music performed on the streets, atop buildings, and while that all may seem a little cliche, Prince’s deliverence takes that cheapness away from the atmosphere.
Another point is that this movie is much classier; the music is more refined (though I’m sure many will disagree that the soundtrack is better than PR); there is no nudity only moments of suggestion, a very appreciated direction (the movie definitely has sexuality, but not so blatant); it’s funny and often cute, but not corny (and Morris Day is perhaps the greatest, and oddest, villian ever); and it’s a movie by/of Prince, so there really wasn’t much of a third party to drag the film from his own vision. Honestly I probably can’t say enough good things about it. Oh, and I may as well say that even though Prince once again wins over the bad with the projection of a strong ballad, it wasn’t done in the uber-cheesy way that resolved Purple Rain.
And above all the movie really inspired me. Instead of Prince being torn between his music, sex, and a rival, in GB he struggles between his music, business, and love; it’s to me the ‘big picture’ that The Kid from Purple Rain wasn’t seeing. I really felt what Prince meant to do, to rise above the things that tear away and bite at art.
I do hope that people’s reactions to this movie aren’t the only reason keeping Prince from releasing any more of his alleged films. Each of his albums really are a story in their own right, and this film is a visualization of such a story. If Prince released a film for every album he made, I’d love them all just the way I love the music (though I think I’d feel a little differently toward the rhetorical film of his Come album).

This is the first collection of photos to showcase San Francisco graffiti. There are many things to love about the book starting with its size. The best thing is probably the pictures of stuff that’s now gone.
Incredible photos, this is a true gem

This is an amazing representation of Bay Area graffitti. The book is so beautiful that even if you don’t know about graffitti, you will love to browse through the pictures. I’m the mom of a budding graff artist who has shown me the beauty in this artform. In my humble opinion, the artists that appear in this book, are our local best. The pictures display their work in a way that it can be appreciated. It’s great for the people that know & fun and educational for the people that don’t. The book is nice enough to sit out on a coffee table for all to enjoy. I recommend this book to anyone. Get familiar with an artform that is rarely appreciated and one that requires talent & imagination.
March 13th, 2011 at 12:40 pm
Wow, I am so glad I purchased this book. It really captures the essence of the Bay area and its amazing artists. Page after page filled with beautiful pictures, and the camera chosen is amazing. Pictures are very crisp. You can thumb through the book over and over and notice something new each time. Great book to own if you appreciate great graff art and are from the bay or even if your not, great buy and well worth the twenty something dollars.

As a lover of great photography & admirer of graffiti and street art, I found this book to be a delicious treat for the eyes and special insight into the writers’ message, reason and spirit for creating. Absolutely Worthy…
