As a resident of Ventura Village, I wonder why Mr. Peaches from Powderhorn Park
neighborhood is so interested in my neighborhood and thinks he knows what's good for
us. I used to live in Powerhorn Park in the 1970's and now that I'm here, I certainly
wouldn't be putting my voice out regarding Mr. Peaches' neighborhood. When he says
it's time to "step aside and let new blood see what they can do," he loses sight of
the fact that somebody may be more interested in the $$$ than in the hearts and minds
of the residents. Last time I checked, we've done pretty well without paid
neighborhood staff and still have attracted about $130 million in development along
East Franklin Avenue. Now we residents should step aside for organizers who don't live
in our neighborhood who think they can bring better things to our neighborhood? Then
why must it be a hostile takeover? Actually, we will be documenting this "takeover"
effort so that when the postwar pundits get together to pick through the debris with
their forceps of discovery, they will at least have a clear record of what happened
that evening. Got your popcorn ready Mr. Peaches???
