Lastly what is this about hating the burbs? I LIVE in WGV!

  Isn't that like, in another Country , Ock ??

Blah blah blah Jax microscopers. Jax is nothing special as far as anything is good concerns, and is unique for everything bad; Every other major city outside of Jax has no problems, they all are uniquely great for many things, and are vacation destinations to die for, understood... Jesus Christ *sigh*

  In the interest of not adding fuel to the fire

           Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

If only we could all gather for Thanksgiving dinner at the Bostwick. (Dont forget your hard hat) 

Or a "progressive" dinner: Start at the Bostwick, and have dessert at Annie Lytle.

More or less Timkin, I think I was much more 'in town' when I lived in Colombia!

Did you even read what I posted? What Stephen posted? I disagree that "Jax is nothing special, uniquely bad, or that other cities have no problems," You do not seem to have the ability to separate 'ideas' from 'constructive criticism,' believing as you apparently do that other cities are so much better you must constantly be offended by any mention of their success.

Does anyone have an idea when the HPC's recommendation on the local landmark status is due to come up on the Council agenda? 

Last I checked, it still hadn't been assigned a date, but admittedly I'm not as good as a lot of other MJ regulars in navigating COJ.

Council Committees will see the landmark status legislation in January.

Also, check out this place, mentioned in the WSJ today.  The article is about re-purposing bank vaults.  Maybe this will spark some motivation for interested parties for what the Bostwick building could be...?

Thanks Debbie.  It's now on my calendar.

[riverside planner]

The first public hearing is being held before the full City Council this Tuesday, January 8th.  Bill number is 2012-720. Be sure to write the members of City Council and especially LUZ to voice your opinion if you are unable to make the public hearings!

The important time for speaking on the Bostwick Building's future will be at the LUZ meeting on Jan 15.  Apparently BOTH the owner's appeal to have it demolished and the city's request to force a landmark status will be heard at this meeting.
