[quote=Anonymous]Well, I guess that is the disconnect then. I mean, they certainly strung us along by asking for [b]private meetings[/b], forming the working group (which in hindsight was totally unnecessary), and telling us privately that there was space for everything except baseball/softball diamonds. They certainly got a lot of us supporting them and trying to get the neighborhood behind it. And believe me, it's much easier to get a group of people to oppose something, rather than support something.

I also hear the Wakefield thing quite a lot, and it makes me sad. My kids aren't old enough yet, but the neighborhood kids who go there love it. Again, another reason to have been a NIMBY all along. And most of you won't believe me anyway.

THIS!  I live in Penrose.  I'm sure none of you who are remembering things a certain way didn't go to the private meeting that Reid and Barbara had with the Columbia Pike neighborhoods to discuss our Career Center options.  (NVD and Monique also unofficially attended).  Well, it was a doozy.  Words were thrown out like "Crown Jewel of Columbia Pike", and "urban high school".    A lot of talk was about phasing and how we can make that work.  Buying the ECDC building or using their parking was also discussed.    It made me excited for the students who would be able to go there.

Fast forward a year and we are basically are being asked to accept a substandard school.

No thanks.  [/quote]
