This will be interesting. I follow Adam on social media, and he's shown public interest in these designs, well at least of in particular that I noticed. I should ask him about his position on this sale. I probably won't get an answer other than more needs to be known before the vote.
I have a good tree story for once! They have planted new trees in the empty spaces downtown along Kalamazoo Street by the Library and Cooley. That is the first time I have had good news regarding our trees. Yea!
Random question... has there ever been any talk of converting that disused rail line between Turner and Center in Old Town into a bicycle trail, ultimately hooking it up with the River Tail? Though it wouldn't add that much to the trail system in a practical sense, I feel like it'd up the "cool factor" of the River Trail by allowing you to cut through all those neat old buildings. I'd imagine paving it up to North Street.
I think the benefits are mutual. The city doesn't have to insure the building anymore and doesn't have to act as a landlord. The museum can control its property and not have to worry about losing their lease.

I should know this, but who do you list as the hard-line opposition? I assume Carol Wood is one?
It seems kind of strange that they are going so far as to put on a show of the designs when this is far from a done deal.

Yeah, I really don't see it happening.
That sounds really interesting! Looking forward to trying it when it opens.

They have also planted new trees on Ionia street. It is really great to see these trees planted now I hope they will water and take care of them.
