Editorial by Matt Marquardt –
Today’s photo of the day comes from NIT Publisher Matt Marquardt. It is a photo I shot in the parking lot of the Mason City Public Library before Tuesday night’s city council meeting.
I think the photo shows the stark contrast in the two types of people in Mayor Eric Bookmeyer’s so-called “Cultural Crescent”: Third Ward City Council member, Jean Marinos, in her silver BMW and another person’s yellow bike that is rumored to run somedays and not run on others, sleeping bag strapped to a cart on the back.
We all live here… but we don’t all live the same.
