Orikal Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 that why i say pedestrian friendly involves more than a shopping center, it is more area wide.And I'll agree with your statement, but let's try to look at the bigger picture... The whole area isn't going to become more pedestrian friendly (whether it be born of aesthetics or infrastructure) in one fell swoop; it happens in bits and pieces. Which is why we have a prime opportunity here, which is what I was alluding to in my original post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orikal Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 but i will agree it is a BIG project not something a shopping center will change. Of course not...but it can be a catalyst. Nothing in a city thrives/stagnates/declines without instigating factors. A piece of the larger picture. Expand your horizons, man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmainguy Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Wow.......I think you're just arguing for the sake of arguing at this point.Yes, I have the same option, regardless of the construction of the new center. But (let's go back to my original post), why not make it MORE pedestrian friendly, while making the area more attractive to a wider audience?That's pretty much where I am with music. He clearly knows nothing of the neighborhood while those of us that were born there, grew-up there and continue to live, visit, support and shop there know better. But he really likes to argue for the sake of arguing. He and others like him are why I sign on to HAIF less and less everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
