Not buying into the Enquirer narrative, buying into the many people who have been working on this project for many years narrative.

I'll add myself to the list of people who previously supported her yet am going to have a real hard time doing so this November.

The restaurants at Hy-Vee are pretty nice and often quite crowded.

I've not seen any work being done on it for a few months, and when I had seen work being done they were pretty hack crews that were coming and going. Doesn't give me a good feeling.

Agreed, which is why I find it all quite interesting. I'd be curious to see more detail as "generally bounded" leaves some room for interpretation.

It's very interesting what you've brought up about the borders. The neighborhood organization requires voting members to live between boal and liberty hill so I have no idea what the original basis for that is.

Ringgold is not part of Prospect Hill and the north side of Boal is for whatever reason not in the historic district.

Can't really think of too many 50's and 60's business building.

I personally feel leaving at 1 am sounds great. Hopefully crash out and wake up in Iceland ready to go. I went out of my way to do this on my last flight to Europe and it worked great.

I'm all ears to learn about the backroom deals, did you work in the Mallory administration?

You mean the houses they did tear down for there expansion? https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1076428,-84.5162823,3a,90y,291.48h,94.29t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sf-sFSsz5nJJhg3ktXLa2lA!2e0!5s20070901T000000!7i3328!8i1664

I think the articles I have posted links to show that 3CDC, from a very early point, was focused on OTR. You can choose to believe Mallory did this but the articles I have posted to say otherwise. Yes the progress and completion of a lot of these projects happened under Mallory but if you will have a hard time convincing me that he had a personal impact on the project execution of these things. I'd he happy to hear otherwise as I'm a big fan of his but lets not have our passion distort the facts.

The plans for Washington Park, the "Gateway" portion of Vine St, the new SCPA all pre-date Mallory. I liked him alot but that does change the facts of the matter. Even found mention of the Mercer Commons project from 2004 which surprised even me. Enjoy the reading! Good plan for washington park. (2004, Jun 12).

In what instances did Mallory push back against 3CDC regarding OTR and the Banks? I'm a Mallory fan but I can't remember such an instance. 12th and Vine was getting underway around the time Mallory took office as where plans for Washington Park so it's not like he had anything to do with these.

Which is funny as the preservation/architecture argument was not made by the parties involved or picked up by any preservation organizations. I think you could also make an argument that these institutions are helping the redevelopment of the downtown basin. I know a significant amount of employees of these institutions who have made purchases in the basin in the last few years so while not ideal in how these institutions exist in the neighborhood they do provide high paying jobs to many individuals who are more and more taking up residence in downtown/otr.
