Here's a link to the story: <a href="http://mondaymag.com/articles/entry/kicked-out-of-inner-harbour/" rel="nofollow">http://mondaymag.com/articles/entry/kicked-out-of-inner-harbour/</a>. As well as being a regular and insightful commenter, Dean has been featured on this blog a couple of times - <a href="http://victoriadailyphoto.blogspot.com/2010/06/youth-and-age.html" rel="nofollow">HERE</a> and <a href="http://victoriadailyphoto.blogspot.com/2008/07/causeway-artist-1-dean-lewis.html" rel="nofollow">HERE</a>, and I've spent many an hour chatting with him and watching him work his magic with visitors to our city down on the Inner Harbour Causeway. To deny him a license to practise his art is an incredible injustice. You don't have to believe me - read the Monday Magazine article in the link above and you'll agree. The <a href="http://www.victoriaharbour.org/" rel="nofollow">Greater Victoria Harbour Authority</a> needs to learn that the art of successful management includes admitting and correcting errors in judgement. Let's hope they correct this one before the tourist season starts.Benjamin Madisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557453060872726741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583858833715089401.post-83245915272999079992011-03-12T07:17:35.791-08:002011-03-12T07:17:35.791-08:00JoJo - Wow, big changes!

This has been a whirlwind last 2 months. Best case scenario I will be back on the Cape by mid summer. I don't want to leave the Pac NW, but I'm so lonely here. All my friends live back east.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583858833715089401.post-50062354455696232362011-03-11T09:08:14.479-08:002011-03-11T09:08:14.479-08:00Excellent shot.

A great example of just how important choosing just the right perspective makes all the difference.<br />Mike, the MM story is quite accurate. What it was unable to go into his how the GVHA action against me is not what they claim, obviously since they can't back it up, but because of my protestations over their highly questionable ethics.<br />I did everything I could to resolve this 'in-house', but now the details will need to become more public, regrettably.<br />The causeway, being perhaps the most public place in the city needs to be the most transparent for business pursuits as well.<br />The GVHA doesn't seem to see it that way.Dean Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517101319415981439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583858833715089401.post-56907115619014203352011-03-11T08:07:06.513-08:002011-03-11T08:07:06.513-08:00Hey, just read that Dean will no longer be part of...Hey, just read that Dean will no longer be part of the Inner Harbour scene through no choice of his own.
