the current owner (not opus) has said he will tear the bank building down regardless of what happens (and start charging for the surface parking). take that for what it's worth.

I've also heard that BOA will be vacating the building in August, no matter what.

Any thoughts on if that was just a hint to neighborhood "activists" to take it (Opus) or get a parking lot?

The "hint" was brought up at our neighborhood assn meeting tonight. I'm pretty sure someone said a parking lot would be better than the OPUS development.

Yes, this was an OHP meeting actually. Please come to the next one, we will be discussing the OPUS development more. I believe the next will be on June 21st.

Have you gotten signed up for the streetcar election yet? We're having an OHP signup at Mother Earth Coffee this Sunday from 11-6.

OHP = Old Hyde Park :). I hear you on projects eating up time, we're just finishing remodeling our kitchen! If you decide to take a break on Sunday, stop over and I'll get you signed up and ready to go.

You could go and answer questions around the project to people who have them and let the people filling out paperwork continue to do so. Turn someone who will vote yes into someone who will vote yes and encourage other people to vote yes.

Feel free to drop by and hang out anyway. We had a signup on my porch a couple weeks back and it was fun just hanging out and talking to people.
