For those who want information only, there are plenty of other sites (e.g. Forest Hills Patch). Drake is doing his own thing here and is refreshing to read.

You have you're own issues that you deal with (just like myself and the rest of the world) including anger, which is evident in a lot of your hostile posts and snippy comments, but whatevs. I'll still read the blog to find out what's going on in the hood.
