Ogden mayor

Thursday I had coffee at Grounds for Coffee on 25th Street, then wandered past the shops, restaurants and businesses to Ron Inkley's Imaging Depot for a roll of film I had developed.

Read that paragraph again. Twelve years ago the walk I took was vastly different.

Sadie Clifford's coffee shop didn't exist. Ron Inkley's place was a run-down bus station. Almost none of the shops, stores and restaurants in between were there.

OGDEN -- A jubilant Mike Caldwell thanked campaign supporters and voters Tuesday night for electing him mayor while promising to keep the city on the path to continued prosperity.

"Hopefully, you won't have to listen to how we talk," Caldwell told dozens of supporters at a victory party at the Ogden Marriott Hotel downtown. "You get to see what we do. We are going to get to work."

Caldwell, who has never held an elected office, also praised the hard work of his campaign staff who went door to door to meet voters and placed signs throughout the city.
