I just put a contract on a new home on Douglas street, just south of the Park. I can’t wait to meet my new neighbors! (27-year-old with a dog who can’t wait to use the new dog park!)

Glad I stumbled upon this article and comment thread, even though it’s a few months old. I just put a contract on a home on Douglas St, just south of the Park. The house is amazing and I can’t wait to meet my new neighbors! (27-year-old male here with a dog – I’ll be using that dog park quite frequently!)

Dave,

I’m expecting utopia! How about you? We’ve waited too long without any representation. I think we’ll be back to the old way of doing things, where we won’t see much of our Councilman, but might just see his staff at meetings and on listservs. So, it’s important early on that we demand what we want. But to who? And who will he listen to? As you know in any newly elected position, it’s pay back time! He has to thank all those who put so much effort in getting him elected, by meeting their needs and demands first. The rest of us will be ignored or have to wait.

Good grief, you might want to wait until the guy is, you know, an actual Councilmember before you start reaming him. What, exactly, are you expecting?

Woodie, the election results first need to be certified and then he becomes Councilmember.

Speaking of the church crowds, I was hoping more of them would become pioneers and open shops at RIARow and on RIA. We all have the same (non-alcoholic/non-smoking) needs. I’ve noticed that Church of the Light (at 12th & RIA) is having their kids along RIA on Saturday with car wash signs. It’s nice to see them raising funds for youth activities. And, Colonial Parking should be offering discounted parking rates for all church-goers.

What are McDuffie’s plans for the area? He’s become the phantom Councilman. Since he’s been elected, I’ve read articles about him appearing on news programs, but have never seen him in the flesh. Is he just all talk and a no-show Councilman? I do hope he will finally place a Green Team on RIA!

Not exactly my preferred dining option, but seems like a good start. Preferences being what they are, it’s not that I don’t think it’s a good fit for the community, just not really up my alley. I DO hope it is successful so as to draw MORE options, some of which I’m sure will fit my tastes better. Maybe it will even get the church-goers to park their cars in the garage of the development (700 spaces is WAY more than needed for the residents/patrons, particularly on Sunday mornings) instead of all over the street, and spend a little money in the community. A lot of them do seem to go to McDonalds, so maybe a better option will draw them in. I’ll be looking out for the build-out to begin!

It’s going on the opposite corner of CVS.
