Hopefully those of us who do not need weed yet but do need seeds and compost can find something to buy–business owners sometimes respond to potential customer requests, for say, vegetable seeds, worm castings or beneficial nematodes.

Comment on Chuck Brown Park Design Released by Sandra

Is this really a way to bring life into this park? I hate to admit this, but this looks butt-ugly to me. I know parks need to be used often in order to serve communities, but does the building have to be so ugly? Is there no beautiful, classic or at least sweet-looking way to do this?

Does anyone know when it will open? I keep checking the website but it just says Summer 2013.

There is a liquor store every block or so on RI Ave. I don’t think this a good idea at all. I live in Mt. Rainier and we have more than enough people who are more than intoxicated hanging out on the corners just waiting for the next drink. Now here comes another store with an additional day to be open and providing just what they don’t need. Perhaps if we eliminated the sale of singles, cups and small bags of ice, we would only have the people who are going to purchase and then take those purchases home or to the party they were brought for.

Comment on Money Secured for RIA NE! by Woodie

It’s good to have funding. We need accountability of all and any funding. What happened to the $1 Milliion last year that was to be used to “study” RIA? If the “study” was done, it should be ready to implement with the “up to $5 Million.”

We have seen the Green Team return to RIA. How much of this funding will be used to continue their operation?

Where is “Noyes Recreation Center”? The Noyes playground area at 10th & Franklin is under construction now. Are they getting more funding, and why? If so, how much does each of those rec centers get? Why does the new Woodridge Library need an additional $4 Million?

Isn’t there already an amphitheatre in the park? As for putting a school here- Kathy why would you want to take away a park and place a school there? And Woodie- you realize Taft won’t be available for a couple of decades? My children may have children by then. Where will they go in the mean time?

Comment on ICYMI: Greenhouses, Thrift Stores, and a Brewpub by mayaoconnor

3112 RI is already a thrift store, at least judging by the signage on it. They also advertise Obama memorabilia. I haven’t been inside to verify, though.
