Great response from the management of Ozona

Recently over at Frontburner, they described a recent bad experience they had at Ozona when they went there to have lunch. That post spawned a deluge of e-mail messages from readers describing similar experiences. Apparently Ozona is not the place to go if you want good service.

Well, apparently a higher-up at the company that runs Ozona saw the post. He says he wants to hear all the complaints. He says he will rectify the problem. That is a quick and great response. Even though the Frontburner guys asked for the e-mail messages to stop, the Ozona Management guy wants all of them. He says he will read and reply to every single one.

Did you recently go to Ozona and have a bad experience with the service there? If so, send an e-mail to Skylar Bell, sbell@fordrestgrp.com.

Red light cameras in Dallas

Frontburner (the D magazine blog) has leaked released a list of the intersections where red light cameras may be placed.  Only 15 cameras will be placed initially, but the list is longer than 15.  There could be dummy cameras at the other locations.

Now, I don’t care for red light runners.  In fact, I dislike the behavior.  But I’m less in favor of computer monitored law enforcement.  This probably comes from my general distrust of the government.

And the argument that these are placed for safety?  Via this fine post at Frontburner I learn of a study by the Texas Traffic Institute at Texas A&M University that says “red-light cameras reduce collisions by just 7 percent overall, while lengthening yellow lights decreases violations and collisions by more than 40 percent.”
