ANONYMOUS PHONE CALL ILLUSTRATES A TRUTH BEHIND THE WESTSIDE VILLAGE BORDER DISPUTE — SIMPLE PREJUDICE
By George Garrigues

A woman called the other morning and left this message on my answering machine:

"Hello, I don't know if this is this George person that's putting out all this stuff in my mailbox. I really have no interest in being allied with a bunch of apartments, so you might just take yourself to Palms and leave Westside Village out of this. Please start thinking about getting something more — get a life, I guess. Get something more to do than — besides all this inflammatory stuff. It doesn't help anybody, and you can be sure that none of us really want to be allied with a bunch of Palms apartment buildings. So I wish you'd confine yourself to Palms, and not Westside Village. Thank you."

With a message like that, I don't think I have to write much more. You can reach your own conclusions.
