Part of me is completely against the Big Brother aspect; the other part of me would have loved to have my hold up caught on camera. Heck, it might not have happened if there was a sign indicating surveillance. I’m with you, Melissa.

Joe and I discussed that as well with the police officer who was helping us with the investigation. They pulled the tape but the footage was crappy and dark. The guy was barely distinguishable. The cameras are there but don't expect them to capture everything. Craig,

Would you have felt better about cameras had one been positioned to help capture the schmuck who held you up back in January? That's not a rhetorical question; I, too, have ambivalent feelings about public surveillance. Joe, interesting piece.

The tour was Sunday, though! Great column, Joe, and I appreciate that you put surveillance in the context of a local crime with which readers are probably familiar.

I simply felt there were some elements of the tour that she didn't highlight and so highlighted them in my own write-up. (Note: I always do such after-the-fact reports.) P.S. Thanks for the "CityBeat" review. Joe: I took no “offense” at Maya’s blog entry.
