I think 20 plus dollars for average pizza is insane.Bello Velohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16281701129166266768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899661664140569113.post-1972093766500019132009-04-11T11:37:00.000-05:002009-04-11T11:37:00.000-05:00I do give him credit for the Press Conference and ...I do give him credit for the Press Conference and the Mayor's ride. that makes him a bit differentBello Velohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16281701129166266768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899661664140569113.post-47535336392218918932009-04-11T11:22:00.000-05:002009-04-11T11:22:00.000-05:00I don't agree that it is silly or unfair.

It's the same administration. <BR/><BR/>Same Mentality:<BR/>Fear of Lawsuits<BR/>More Parking <BR/>More Roads<BR/>More of the Same.<BR/><BR/>I do think he is listening but at this rate you will be very old before you see anything real happen other than disc golf and more military. Remember we are all going to profit and get rich when Brac comes.<BR/><BR/>I have seen Greg's plan and before spending more millions, they could close off the streets downtown and promote walks,rides, art strolls etc... on the weekends and work with what they have. I have no faith at all the our city planners have our best interests at heart. I know some like having a giant commercial bank in the middle of your Park.<BR/><BR/>Also expand the bus service. Seems strange they have the drunk bus that takes people to all the bars to get them drunk, then they can go get their parked car (city owns all the parking garages$$$$$) and then have the police arrest them for DUI. $$$$$$ That seems a bit unfair to me. Why not have buses that will take people home? <BR/><BR/>Also he was caught in a lie as there were no lawsuits pending over the sidewalks. As reported by the HSV Times last week. So lets spend 2.8 million dollars because of what might happen? Sounds like preemption.<BR/><BR/>Plus Loretta brought us bridge street, so we can feel what it is like to be in venice with gondolas.while never leaving town. It's the best inside out mall I have ever seen.Bello Velohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16281701129166266768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899661664140569113.post-8151265830186632012009-04-11T09:05:00.000-05:002009-04-11T09:05:00.000-05:00Comparing him to Loretta is silly and unfair at th...Comparing him to Loretta is silly and unfair at this point. What he plans to do downtown is more than fixing the sidewalks. What he wants to do will revive commerce and a main-street feel. Don't you want a downtown with more shops, cafes, bars and restaurants than LAW FIRMS? He's not catering to the big pockets like Loretta did.<BR/><BR/>Also, he isn't ignoring those people bitching about the "character" in that farked up jagged brick sidewalk. Those people will bitch about ANY change. If you want to see "character" for downtown, see the plan that Greg (from Sam & Greg's) drew up. I'm wondering if the folks who complain have actually seen this plan?<BR/><BR/>Is someone really going to sue the city over a sidewalk? Really?
