I'm looking forward to the segments...
Hell of an intro. Definitly did its jobthough as I now wait with the patience of a 6 year old with ADHD for the scintillating details to be illuminated.
I hope more people get exposure to this report than just the people that read this blog and the MJ forum. You know "preaching to the choir". Do you guys have any plan to distrubute your study to the local media?
I can't wait for this! Great intro Stephen, you have my attention hook, line, and sinker!
steves ideas are the best 4 jax, but whats a "great" city?
Looking forward to this great study. Remembering all the great studies of the past from George Simons to the Community Planning Council Goals and Priorites to the Amelia Island Conference to JCCI to organization of the City Planning Department in the late 70s to the DDA ooperations and their TIF districts to JEDC etc. Jane Jacobs, hopefully, we can emulate you and follow some of your suggestions also!!!!
Stephen - Drawing from your personal history with the historical society, I'm sure this will be very informative. I look forward to it.
