ducksoup, glad you won ur bet...I did grow up and I did leave big cities decades ago. Moved to eugene to enjoy seasonalities, like mindedness and friendliness. I have seen growth, of recent, that has been driven by pure greed more than a blending of right livelihood. That's not how I perceive Eugene and it does not need that sort of development. The threat of another hotel to cajole pols to support an inappropriate architectural/zero lot line built building are unwarranted and undesirable and is unacceptable to me.
Think we've beat this one to death, don't you?
