The next battle in the war to save the Derby will occur this week, at a time and place of the Cultural Heritage Commission's choosing: March 16, 10 A.M., City Hall.

The Commission will be considering the Derby's application for City Landmark status, and Rebecca Goodman of the Save the Derby Coalition wants to turn out the troops for this critical public hearing. Packing the room with Derby supporters would send a clear message to the Commission: let the Derby stand.

All is not lost if you can't wiggle out of work on Thursday. You can still help by using Save the Derby's handy letter-generator to bombard key decision-makers with pro-Derby, anti-developer sentiments.
