My YES! Weekly Candidate Profile

by Ryan Shell on September 30, 2009

Untitled-1

I was featured in one of YES! Weekly’s candidate profiles this week and thought I’d share it with you. It starts with,

“Ryan Shell, resident of the tony Southside neigh- borhood and at-large candidate for Greensboro City Council, strolled across the bridge that carries Martin Luther King Drive over East Lee Street. He wore a tie and black dress shoes, and he walked with a sense of ease as the landscape of townhouses and cafés gave way to empty lots and curb markets.

Shell has walked this stretched of roadway many times, as amply documented through his campaign website, Facebook site and Twitter account. His custom is to talk non-stop, interrupted by greetings to passersby and knots of young men standing on street corners.” Click here to continue reading the rest of the article.

The article doesn’t mention it, but I’m 30 years old. I thought I’d clarify that since “Young” is in the headline.

Board of Adjustments Meeting time Changed

by Ryan Shell on September 29, 2009

Greensboro, N.C. (September 29, 2009) – Ryan Shell, a candidate for Greensboro City Council At-Large, whom also serves on the Board of Adjustments started the process of changing the Boards meeting time from 2 pm to 5:30 pm two months ago; that change was brought to fruition yesterday.

“Changing our meeting time is great for two reasons,” said Shell. “First, it makes it easier for citizens to attend the hearings. It’s not exactly easy for most people to simply leave work in the middle of the afternoon. Second, I think the time change will also increase the talent pool of individuals that are able to serve on the Board of Adjustments. The previous meeting time might have prevented certain people from applying simply because they could not attend the meetings and make the commitment that is required to serve.”
