[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AU is shooting themselves in the foot. Their students and their students families love how tranquil the neighborhood is when they visit, yet has easy access to downtown. When it looks high density and junky I'm. Sure they will swoon less.  I hope those 10 confused elderly show up at every new, future AU development proposal with their Johnsons closing sale purchased pitchforks and give them heck. And to Mary Cheh as well for allowing/encouraging  this area to be swamped with rapid development-Fannie Mae, Johnsons, pool,  sidwell expansion, shelter. The pace is too fast and she has done nothing to up services to correspond to more density. Despite showing up at every block party and parade to "mingle", she is no advocate for ward 3. Just vote her out. This will not be forgotten. [/quote]

Oh geez please go take your geritol.  And maybe see if one of the AU OSHER classes covers basic grammar and punctuation for the elderly?

There has hardly been any development or change in Upper NW so it is unclear what you are talking about - have you been sniffing some of the fertilizer you got at the going out of business sale?

Why a more attractive and vibrant Wisconsin Avenue would be less attractive to AU students than the junky and disjointed version of today is unclear - but do enlighten us since you seem confused yourself - do you like or dislike AU and its students?[/quote]

I've spoken with AU students and their parents who love the feeling of "suburbs in the city". They can go party on U street or what not, and come home and tuck in among the tree-scape. Frankly, that's why a lot of people choose to live in this area, including young families. There are plenty of developed places in the city to choose from, and AU Park is a nice respite if that's what you're looking for. I gave many examples of recent development projects and proposals, that are on a much more rapid scale than has occurred in this are in the past. Some of it is related to AUs expansion. Nebraska Ave. looks entirely different from ten years ago. Some of it may be coincidence. The Cathedral Commons and library rebuild were a long time in the making, followed by all the proposals I provided. I'm not sure how you missed them, except that you chose to focus on grammar. I don't personally consider somewhat inane message boards like this, where I will interact with folks like you, an art form and will save my editing skills for other spaces and places. Thanks for the feedback though.[/quote]
