[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great. $10 million less for the rest of us, and now you all are going to go after more.[/quote]

What about Ellington? Does this mean they will need to cancel the private saunas and hot tubs? For the dancers, you know.[/quote]

It's also a joke that they are spending $200 million and rising to keep Ellington in its present location.  For that money, they could have built a completely modern new performing arts school, more centrally situated in DC to be more convenient to more students, nearer to Metro and ideally located near a performing arts facility.  Think, for example of the SW Waterfront District.  And NW could probably use another general high school, so it makes sense as several council members have proposed, that the current Ellington building be repurposed as Western High School (which it was).  But no, the Ellington community has a bee in its bonnet about staying in Burleith (which they call Georgetown, and consider staying there as a "prestige" thing), and think there's some nefarious racial agenda to move the school to a better location.[/quote]

NIMBY much?[/quote]
