i dislike the woman intensely, too... but to play devil's advocate for two seconds: she's from the "old guard"... spoiled by the free parking on the Plaza and the goal of providing a "city beautiful" to be viewed from your steam-powered carriage. she does, in fact, speak for (or like) a lot of people -- mostly in her age bracket, but not all. i had some of them in my group last night, too. the key to winning this argument (which i think civitas will do) is focusing on the on-street parking in the plan and relating it to other parks IN THIS CITY that are similar (loose, theis, southmoreland, mill creek) that have events, but the surface lots don't equate to the size of the events held there. don't take the bait when she calls you pathetic, even though i'd also be hard pressed not to give her a proper boot to the head.voltopt wrote: it sounds like she is more interested in her legacy and less in our city.
carry on, children, to meeting #3!
