Ok..I'll bite... Andy, let me explain tolerance. Tolerance is recognizing there are different strokes for different folks. Urban renewal and design are pretty basic no matter where you look. Great public spaces, interesting restaurants, art galleries, surprising retail, you get the drift. You sound intimidated that anyone would like to see you where a jacket to dinner at Marigold?
Fairmount, Northern Liberties, Bella Vista, Fitler Square are all neighborhoods that have similar "fabric" to ours, looking at people, income, education. The question is how are we different? Lots of great "see and be seen at the scene" established restaurants and bars that draw from a city-wide dweller base for one. The Left of Center campaign is not catching on citywide. I wonder why? (I asked some folks in CC where Left of Center was and they replied "is this a riddle?") Large groups of our resident base go elsewhere to "play" and most of all spend! Grad Students, Professors, Artist, people like me that wear Prada and Rolex. We live here too. Not enough community focus has been placed on the real development of culture here, particularly looking at what will sustain our community long term as we compete with the growth and development of other communities in the city. Property value will be determined by amenities, culture, lifestyle for those who have $300K and more to spend on a house.
