How about some more retail? How about some improved residences? How about a modern hotel? These last few years have seen dramatic improvements in that regard, but it feels like we are now beginning some developments that should have kicked off ten years ago.

Of course, she'd also have to be as witty. At least when Rooney got grumpy about something, he was usually making well-spoken, intelligent points. @Larry – I would pay money ($1) to see Nancy Eshelman dress up as Andy Rooney.

I have no working knowledge of Greenworks so I have no reason to think badly of them myself. In fact, they're helping to develop and nurture the city in what is arguably our darkest hour. I'm hard-pressed to find any wrongdoing in that. @Linda – you may be right. I have no working knowledge of Greenworks so I have no reason to think badly of them myself.

I've wondered about it for years, and am thrilled to see it happening. Our city is peppered with buildings similar to this whose under-utilization drives me crazy. Maybe this will kick off a trend. @Joseph – me too! I’ve wondered about it for years, and am thrilled to see it happening.

I have to admit that I don't go downtown anymore, but I think the lack of diversity is detrimental to the city. It'd be nice if there was a little more diversity to the bars, along with some retail shops to break up the strip...

But that goes without saying. I'm puzzled by your 'half the city loathes Greenworks' comment. I would say that's the same half of the city that is so cynical as to loathe anything good. They loathe puppy dogs. Have they given you any clue as to their animosity towards Greenworks? It's a bit puzzling. Without Greenworks, we would not be talking about the mid-town renaissance at all. That was all them. Mid-town would look like it did in 2000. They are the one and only group that seems to care about mid-town right now, and have sunk $50 million into it in the past several years. And they are not making much in return. What's to loathe? This is going to be another fantastic addition to mid-town. But that goes without saying.
