It's encouraging to read something substantive from a board member of uchs, who is willing to provide information and thoughts about historic designation in the context of a dialog with others and with the intention of increasing understanding. bravo. I especially liked tim's last sentence: >Neighborhood historic preservation does not seek to freeze a >place in time--it simply seeks to get residents to take a breath and think >about what they want their neighborhood to look like and to think about how >changes made by individuals effect the community as a whole. now, listen to it this way: Neighborhood meetings about historic preservation do not seek to freeze a frame of mind--they simply seek to get residents to take a breath and think about what they want their neighborhood to look like and to think about how changes made by individuals effect the community as a whole. see how it works? how everyone wants what is best? by getting others to pause and reflect? to better understand how individual actions can affect the whole community? so tim, here's an idea: why not volunteer to speak about historic designation at tomorrow's open community meeting? ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
