The Third Battle
Somedays it seems that we are engaged in a never ending war. There are those that would like to simply say that any development is fine. That whatever and whoever wants to build is better than what we have.
There are those of us in the Neighborhood who would just as soon see the Taco Truck, The Produce Man and The Tower of Rugs if that is the threat. The other threat we have recieved is if they have to build according to the Carrollton Overlay we will get an ugly building. Why? Is there a law that says if you do not get your way than create a hostile and ugly building.
If the local folks that are behind this have a tremendous love for the City, as was stated numerous times by Mr. Kolb. Then he would want to encourage the best development possible. Not just for those of us who live here, but for those who drive by that intersection everyday.
One of our local Bloggers has summed it up far better than I could and I say the Battle Continues

Helpful hint: when linking to a post on another blog, always hunt for the “permalink” — that’s the address for an individual post. Each post should have a unique address, and you can usually find it if you hunt for it.
For example instead of linking to a href=”http://thethirdbattleofneworleans.blogspot.com”>the home page, link to the indivdual post. To be more explicit, link to
http://thethirdbattleofneworleans.blogspot.com/2006/07/south-carrolltonsouth-claiborne_18.html
rather than
http://thethirdbattleofneworleans.blogspot.com/
That way, as time goes on and new posts are added to the site, your link will still point to the content you’re referencing. That’s why it’s called a “permalink.”
Holler at me if this doesn’t make sense.
