In something of a shocker, Ms. Ali has accepted a position with (drumroll, please)...The McCartin Companies.
Best wishes to Amany and her new Sprawlmeister boss. Now, about that "spin" cycle ...
Meanwhile, on Monday evening, former city councilman Maury Goldberg mustered the courage to attend the Dan Coffey Memorial Chautauqua Lecture (otherwise known as the first of two February city council meetings), and came away with heartburn. Read all about it in City council Meeting -02/06/2006, and note his sensible advocacy of public access to recordings made of the proceedings.
On a lighter note, Ted Fulmore offers another delightful rumination on the city’s past (with a personal slant) in My History in New Albany.
I imagine a trip to New Albany was a pretty big deal for a farm boy from Harrison County.
It still is, Ted – for Louisvillians.
More good news about downtown is tendered at Diggin’ In the Dirt: Ohio River Greenway Update (a report submitted by New Albany’s hard working Greenway rep, Valla Ann Bolovschak).
New Albany Renewal continues its recent spate of excellent postings with these two must-reads:
Filling In – considering “Design and Development of Infill Housing Compatible with Historic Neighborhoods.”
Preparing the Next Generation -- Urban Plan, a program where "high school students learn the roles, issues, trade-offs, and economics involved in urban development.”
The R & R boys are seen inspecting their respective t-shirts, which are available to the thinking public exclusively at Destinations Booksellers.
Coming tomorrow: Why the Bistro New Albany is on hold.
Both of those shirts look great. Jim already has a shirt design for www.cleanupnewalbany.com I am going to see about designing some shirts for www.newalbanysource.com. Maybe we will print some out to generate some public awareness for both sites. We are completing a bit of an overhaul on both so this would be a great time to do that. Thanks for the idea!
