$100* Visioning Tour

This may be worth your while if you don't have anything else planned for Saturday. Here are the details from Kai Warren:

This Saturday, January 19th at 10:00 AM, in place of the old Nickel Tour, we will do a $100 Historic Booker Creek Tour to help our residents understand the direction we are going in and to help develop a vision we would like to have for our future. We will meet at the intersection of 5th Street and Ingleside (11th) Avenue South and take a 1.5 hour tour west to Campbell Park then back to the heart of HRP.

The tour will involve some of our great history, an explanations of the work underway in opening up the creek and the Roser Park Corridor Improvements, as well as the development of the Historic Booker Creek Trail, the conversion of one way traffic on MLK and 8th Streets to two way traffic, the elimination of the 8th Street Connector, the uniting of our surrounding neighborhoods to eliminate crime, foment peace and prosperity, and put a chicken (or tofuken) in every pot.


*All proceeds from the $100 per ticket sales will go to the KGIA Foundation (my personal favorite); however the first 100 people to show up will be given a 100% discount (scholarship, if you will). The tour will also be free to all members of the HRPNA who have paid their dues for 2008. Further discussion of the visioning process can begin immediately following the tour at Chattaway's, where we will meet for lunch and refreshments. Additional suggestions and ideas can be submitted to any bored member or member of the HRPNA Board.

So mark your calendar:

Even though the weather was foggy, this tour given by Kai was very interesting! I hadn't walked on Ingleside where the creek is being dug out... it's HUGE! Even though Kai admits it's been a project that he has pushed for years (as opposed to an Association project), I think our Association SHOULD keep this project on our plates as one of the City things we need to monitor and influence.

I'm also very happy for the Olivers... that big pump is GONE!
