Frank Simpson

Frank Simpson is a community advocate and creator of Petaluma Involved Neighbors (PINS)--a citizens' network that examines Petaluma's public streets, public areas, and neighborhoods. PINS subscribes to the "broken-window" theory of public and neighborhood well being--that is, vandalism, graffiti, trash, and abandoned property are factors evidencing a downward trend in the quality of life. From time to time problems are brought to the public's attention hoping to generate positive solutions. Occasionally articles will be written by (or about the adventures of) The EVEL Twins (Triplets?): Boris--Frank's EVEL Twin and ACE PINS Photographer; Igor--Boris' EVEL Twin & The Real Prince Of Darkness; and Ivan--The Source Before Darkness & Light. The EVEL Twins will focus on the Beauty of Blight! In addition, the EVEL Twins are sometimes joined by ZELDA--The Real Queen of Mean. ZELDA thinks the EVEL Twins are whimps. READER NOTE: AFTER APRIL 30, 2008, I WILL BE ON A BLOGGING SABBATICAL UNTIL AUGUST. I WILL, HOWEVER, POST THREE BLOGS IN MY REGULAR CYCLE STARTING JUNE 1--STUFF TOO GOOD TO HOLD BACK. UNFORTUNATE EVENTS ALSO REQUIRE THAT I POST A SHOPPING CART BLOG ON JUNE 15 AND A LA TERCERA VANDALISM BLOG ON JUNE 18 .
