that's a pretty broad lesson learned. I was actually pleasantly surprised that people didn't move into the opposing lanes. I'm sure that the first responders are more than that.. it's got to be...

I'd be there with bells on. But I'm not really sure if there would be a point. My experience is the opposition has less then zero interest in honest and open dialogue (As we seem to be seeing on this...

I feel like I need to add a couple more thoughts here.

The oppositions idea that Cannabis grown in SoCO should only supply SoCO dispensaries would likely violate both state and federal laws. There...

Fair enough. But the battle you mention is already lost...and there is no turning back. I spent 15++ years in organic ag- more then 10 as owner/operator of a farm selling...mostly...to city...

I would like to add some thoughts here.

Your post contains a few incorrect/inaccurate statements that I would like to address:

You should try the CVS lot. Unlike Rite Aid and Whole Foods, it is public parking and never full.

I love the idea of this project. Perhaps they could be "walk up" apartments for the un-autoed among us. In the heart of town - new vitality to an already friendly place. Of course there would need to...

So if I understand you correctly, what you object to is that the City spent money, not that parking is displaced. You're OK with parking being lost if its an outside developer but not the City. ...

A few thoughts on Pine Grove Square:
