I have enjoyed many of your posts, though, so don't take it too personal.

Just because I know more about the subject matter than you do (once again a necessity seeing as it is my job), does not mean I'm a know-it-all.

      <![CDATA[sherman- you've convinced me.  I mean that, I have to swallow my pride in grand, well designed and heavily utilized public spaces I have enjoyed in so many other cities. Considering the current state of Memphis, and listening to those around me, what would be considered inappropriate for such an important piece of land in other cities, would be suitable here.

      <![CDATA[Urbanut: The south end of mud island has been sitting empty--save for fireworks once a year & a few cub scouts' sleepouts--since 1915. I don't think it is too much to ask the city to spend $1 million to build a skatepark there since the city obviously has $25 million for an unwanted floating boat dock.

You are right on with the comment:  " why can we not levy a Downtown redevelopment surcharge for those that live down there. Places that I have lived at in NY and DC have done the same thing."

There was no way there was 18-25 people at each table seeing as the tables did not seat that many people. Citing successful riverfronts in other cities is called precedent study: look it up- so your point is well, rather pointless.

      <![CDATA[Here we have a city that is, for example, waaaaaaay oversupplied with municipal golf courses (MLK/riverside and Whitehaven, at the very least, should be shut down and converted to parkland/ballfields of some sort). Yet we have people crying b/c some folks want to build one skatepark at city expense.

What the local heirs are actually doing is trying to protect the public's interest.

What ever happen to the Overton Heirs claim on the promenade? I seem to recall that they were trying to take the land back b/c the city never followed through with the intent.

      <![CDATA[To add a little context to those minutes, a brief background:<br>
<br>
The RDC has always wanted the City to use eminent domain to take over the Promenade blocks, so the RDC could turn them over to private developers. In the early 2000s, they got the City to pay a DC law firm to figure out how it could be done, and write the lawsuit.
