all,

 

as you can see from the on-list response that we've gotten this is a real issue for many of us.

 

i've sent the text to the editors of the N&O and the Independent. i've also sent it to the two legislators at the bottom of that write-up.

 

i would encourage everyone to write the noted legislators. the more input they get the more likely they are to respond correctly.

 

but that's not why i'm writing. who can suggest other potetial recipients of this? surely there are more people that need this input.

 

let's make something good happen!

 

thanks,

stan

 

p.s. there is a pdf version (1 page) on my website (www.StanBriggs.com) if anyone wants it.

that little flat space at the bottom of the hill at dix would be an awesome place for a city festival.  it is a natural amphitheatre.

The change of use of the Dix Property to a park is, to me, a no-brainer; it's so clearly a necessary move for the continued growth of downtown that it seems inconceivable that people would oppose it.  I do think, in my mind anyway, that the Dix opportunity is more like Balboa Park in San Diego than Central Park in NYC.  Using the existing (and newly built) structures as permanent housing for civic arts programs and classrooms, as well as a well maintained green space seems the best way to keep moving us culturally forward.

On a related note, the people at raleighing.com have been keeping track of the Dix developments, as well as the rest of Raleigh's resurgence.  Worth a look.
