Hats off!! Pamela Taylor is right!!
We as Minneapolites have to learn to be self sufficient. NRP was a hand out. Without it we can just roll up our community pride, spirit, gumption and down right grass roots involvement and just move away. - or - We can keep the "roll up your sleeves" attitude of the past ten years and keep moving forward! Who says a neighborhood initiative has to be about spending hand out monies from the government? What happened to the responsible thinking that as a neighborhood you can run projects that break even if not make money for future neighborhood investments. Do we need to have the city or state go and find us money or can we ourselves seek a partnership with the private sector?!! The philosophy of philosophizing what may happen is just a "beat around the bush" way of spinning your tires. Get out there and be involved in your community and stop whining on the net.
