“Ciao Anna and Debby,
Understood. We of POEM are concerned that Brian Obie, ex-Eugene Mayor and owner of Fifth Street Market in Eugene may have “purchased” the Post Office despite Memorandum of Agreement on protecting lobby and murals. A recent meeting of Arts and Business alliance supposedly talked about that happening and his plan to turn it into a hotel. POEM, on the other hand, wants to work with the Postal Union and keep the postal function operating as we use upper and lower floors for a museum. We want to keep the building in the public domain. So as soon as you can shed some light on this situation for us, the better.
In solidarity,
Jerry Ross
POEM founder”
