Congratulations, I have spoken with two living, breathing human beings in City Hall! My meeting with Tony Hanna, elusive king of economic and community development, is directly after my meeting with Mr. Donches. Also, as I mentioned to Maggie, "I marched myself into the mayor's office," and spoke to a secretary, who was quite kind. She took my name and number. We'll see.
Upon leaving, a toad-like man sat at a table and signed me out. He wore a nubby yellow T-shirt and took my visitor's pass. "Before you leave, I have to tell you something," he said, writing my name down. He scowled at me and scratched his head with a pen. Pursing his lips, the toad man said,
"Have a good day."

Addendum:
I am at work, reading John Fowles' The Magus. Here is a rather amusing quote:
"It was unnatural, of course. But all dandyism and eccentricity is more or less unnatural in a world dominated by the desperate struggle for economic survival."
