[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The proposed location is terrible. No grounds at all. Makes me glad we didn’t take a chance on Cooper.[/quote] Not true. Building sits on an acre of land. The acre could be landscaped nicely and there’s room for a basketball court.[/quote]

We have been in that building and on the grounds.  Behind it is the parking lot.  It’s right in the corner of North Capitol St.

I have no idea how that is true that there is an acre of land.  I do t see much land/grass.  The building and parking lot takes up most of everything.

Exactly. It’s a parking lot. At a busy intersection. No thanks.[/quote]

Come on, the site will be redeveloped if the two charter schools purchase it.  A high fence can be built the current parking lot will no longer be there.

Maybe, but there really isn’t a lot of space. Especially to share. I live nearby, I wish it was a better option, but it just isn’t.[/quote]

??? I really don’t understand the issue with “space”. I think many if you have an extremely suburban mentality.[/quote]

You must be new here. Shortly you'll hear from the person who hates Basis because it doesn't have a library or computer lab![/quote]

I am not that person (have never posted about it), but it is one of the many reasons we turned down a spot at BASIS. And it is also why despite close proximity to this proposed location, we will most likely not be interested in changing our decision on Cooper as well. You can call it suburban or whatever you like, it’s just not a great location. Honestly I was hoping for better. My school commute would be vastly improved![/quote]
