New Albany is a state of mind … but whose? Since 2004, we’ve been observing the contemporary scene in this slowly awakening old river town. If it’s true that a pre-digital stopped clock is right twice a day, when will New Albany learn to tell time?

Bicentennial Commission: The budget, the bank account, the Horseshoe Grant, and what's in store for Bicentennial Park.
Absolutely, positively, one of the biggest overall wastes of money I've seen in the past few years-- and this being New Albany, that's saying something.
Politicians and organizations would be wise to distance themselves.
It's like an ode to the floodplain. I predict the recessed green area will always be flooded or soggy. Which is cool if it becomes a "wetland" and attractive to migrating wild fowl. Can we call it "Alluvial Park"? Can we have an archeological dig there before the "wetlands" are completed? So many questions, such a little park, and so much money to spend on it.

The Tribune article says everyone's behind it, 100%, and the mayor said that if more public money is necessary, so be it.

ReplyDeleteApparently, the gravel is coming from a diamond mine and the grass from the Netherlands.
