The Nati

The plans were approved by City Council, so the Fountain Square redevelopment is a go. This is truly amazing for a counicl that usually can't get anything done. Glad to see that it went well, although Chris 'the sky is falling' Smitherman managed to cast the lone 'no' vote. I think if Carl Linder walked in and offered to eliminate the city income tax for all residents with a cash donation, Mr. Smitherman would vote no on the proposal.

Anyway, it's great news, the only downside at all that I can see is construction starts late August and two of my good friends are getting married late Sept. They had planned Fountain Square pictures, and had all their guests staying at the Westin because of the square which will now be in rumble during their wedding!
