Was there ever any follow up or continuation or a downtown blog?

I think it a cool name. It shows something about our history.

I’d encourage you guys to renew the domain and keep it running just for the archive of information here. Or, archive it somewhere else. Lots of good content here that I’d hate to see disappear.

Congrats on moving onto new projects.

Gents, your content will be missed. Living in NY, I enjoyed your blog as a way to stay “in-touch” with the downtown I called home just before moving.

Keep up the good photos or perhaps just do a photo only blog?

Bravo.

How many ways do you want to describe stupid -
bad restaurants
a bartender for a mayor
talk show hosts that couldn’t inspire an 8th grade drop-out
terrible roads – (except I69 – which is under utilized)
no East/West thorough fare
an ugly downtown
highlight for local residents is to sit in their garage and listen to police scanners
a gang problem out of control
a city school administrator wanting to spend useless money to promote herself to a larger school district
and yes to be redundant – terrible restaurants – Casa – Granite City – Hunan – Etc — ALL below standard

Pluses include Hyde Bros Books and Allen Co Library

what city boasts about a kid’s zoo or a world famous fire escape

how about most all intersections with barely any street signs

entrances to one-way streets unidentified

of course if you don’t have money or inclination to go to a REAL professional sports game – you can see minor league baseball- hockey – basketball –whoopee – let me catch my breadth

let’s look at city politics and spending – enlarge and renovate Memorial Coliseum and then build Grand Wayne Center to compete against it with neither having 50% scheduled events

how about building a sports arena – having lots of parking – Interstate access and then tearing it down the year it is paid for??? how do you spell dumb?

Park System hiking trails – not properly marked – and NO loops

Sorry for the negatives – I just had a TERRIBLE meal at a Casa restaurant and the whole FW experience is grating on me

I forgot I am in FW and it is time to set my clock back 40 years — of course is that daylight time or not?!?!?

Thanks, guys, for the dedicated effort you’ve put into this, and the high standard of professionalism you’ve maintained. I realize this isn’t the only way you’ve been involved in working to make Fort Wayne a good place to live, work, and play, and I look forward to seeing evidence of your activism in other places and running into you from time to time. Scott, keep up the excellent photography (I’m sure you will).

Your site helped me plug in to the Fort even before we moved back. It also initiated our friendship. I’ll miss the blog, but keep the friendships.
