What happened to Jim Love?

^+1 If brokering deals  is what you think Jim Love's been doing then you haven't been paying attention.

I don't believe anyone will satisfy the demands of all these voices in District 14. We shall see in a few years if someone else can do a better job.

I believe King Street, Avondale and 5-Points benefit from Jim and his urban experiences. He did work to broker a deal with Mellow Mushroom and the Avondale residents. He did work with Steve Flores and Kickbacks. He did work with Jon Insetta and the construction of Black Sheep in 5-points.

That's really a stretch, when did the definition of "worked with" change to "actively blocked"? The fact that he lost doesn't change the definition of the phrase, you know.

When I have dinner with Steve, I'll ask him if Jim actively blocked Steve and his progress. Jim has really done a lot to help Steve, with offering for people to park in back of his lot, for YEARS. So before elected, he did what he could to help Steve. Granted, Jim owns the building next to Steve, so you protect your building interest, and I have discussed with Jim some of his concerns, but Steve is moving forward and able to grow.

Timing is everything, had Steve been focused on the restaurant business when Pete  and Rebecca were running it, he could have had all of the growth completed and been done by now, and he probably would have escaped all those foreclosed properties. Both Steve and Jim are good guys and great for the community, IMO.
