Meanwhile, downtown
I wrote a pretty long piece today over on Save Richmond about the mismanagement of the Richmond performing arts center project. Usually I like to keep that side of my blogging separate from JPSV (which is strictly for making fun of the Times-Dispatch and vegetarians), but I encourage anyone interested in Richmond's downtown to have a look.

Let's hope Richmond's string of spectacular, and spectacularly expensive, downtown revitalization failures will convince Richmond to check out other economic development ideas--specifically ones that actually work.
On a related note, check out this recent report from the Brookings Institution: Space Available: The Realities of Convention Centers as Economic Development Strategy. http://www.brookings.edu/metro/pubs/20050117_conventioncenters.pdf
The future is GREEN!
