Gentle Reminder--
Please tell Mayor Fisher, the Metro Council, the LEO, the Courier-Journal and anyone who will listen to you for 5 minutes how you feel about the plans to demolish Whiskey Row.(If you need contact info, email us (jamesharrodtrust.org) or go to our Facebook page--NPPKentuckiana)
BTW, WHISKEY ROW is what it was, 'Iron Quarter' is what owner Todd Blue calls his proposed development, which will begin as a flat surface parking lot for five years.
Yeh, the mayor said that was OK! Parking for everyone! Nope, not likely.
Seriously, please help us by voicing your opinion and spreading the word.
If you need inspiration, check out the Lexington Herald-Leader articles about CentrePointe. What happens when commitment to preservation is as scant as the capital needed for community altering developments (e.g., CentrePoint and Todd Blue's "Iron Quarter")?
Click below for Tom Eblen's excellent article for a sour reminder, and some eloquent language you may borrow. (e.g. "demolition by neglect") ;0) Lexington should learn lesson from CentrePointe.
No more crocodile tears, we need to make noise.
As always, thanks for your help,
Neighborhood Planning & Preservation, Inc. (NPP)
It is up to all of us!
