[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In all fairness you're a Lazere surrogate trying to say that Goodwin is a republican (he isn't) and he's inexperienced (he isn't).  Instead of pushing Left Said Ed you push Chandler in the hope he'll skim some votes from Goodwin.

Nice try though.  [/quote]

PP here.  I'm not a Lazere surrogate and I wouldn't care if Goodwin was a republican.  He's 30 years old.  I actually listened to him.  He's experienced in what exactly?  I haven't listened to Chandler.  I will before the election though.  I'll give him the same chance.  It's clear that Goodwin doesn't really understand how this city works.  As a former corporate lawyer and investment banker, I'm all for business interests.  [b]This city is in need of a sharp business mind[/b].  I just don't think Goodwin is it.[/quote]

Hill Rag - "ANC 6B voted unanimously to support a motion put forward by Chair [b]Chander Jayaraman[/b] (6B08) to create a Working Group on Barracks Row (WGBR). The working group will report monthly to the ANC and will be co-chaired by Brian Ready (6B03). Much of Barrack’s Row lies in Ready’s Single Member District (SMD), but Jayaraman said that Ready is also particularly well suited to the position as he has a background in promotion and events planning. Ready’s co-chair will be a representative from the business community, and WGBR will be driven by the business community on Barracks Row.

The ANC charged WGBR with four directives:

Develop strategies to market Barracks Row across the city as a go-to destination;Think creatively and generate ideas for events and promotions to attract customers to Barracks Row;Organize and facilitate a meeting with property owners about ways to ensure the long-term sustainability of Barracks Row through fair lease agreements; Generate ideas for attracting more businesses to Barracks Row to fill empty storefronts.

The Hill Restaurant Group is the largest restaurant group on Barracks Row with five restaurants on Eighth Street SE, including Ophelia’s Fish House, Lola’s, Finn McCools, Orchid and Tio Javier. Managing Partner Tom Johnson, who was at the meeting in support of the working group, said that he had independently been trying to get a group of business owners together to market Eighth Street. He said that there was both reason for hope and for concern among restaurants on the Row: while District Soul Food had recently opened to great success, it followed the closure of Garrison."
