I've been quite critical of some posts on the Downtown Jackson Partners blog in recent days as in-depth discussions about why people stay/leave Jackson have unfolded on our website. But I have to give DJP credit today (even as I wish they'd clean up the use of quotations and italics over there, but I digress). I just looked at the blog and see that there is all sorts of relevant, interesting content, rather than the usual mix of posts about Two Lakes and other "bodacious" (expensive) projects and events listings (nothing wrong with those, of course). There is great news about the state renting space downtown and extension info on urban spaces and interesting new urbanism stats and such. Also good news on DJP's Venture Incubator that Ward Schaefer wrote about in the last issue of Boom Jackson.

This is the kind of mix of content we all be reading as we discuss and work together toward a better future for Jackson. We need new, big ideas, not old ones that haven't worked.

Nice going, DJP. Keep it up.

I just got a newly designed DJP newsletter for "Jackson Now" blog -- looks much better and also have interesting content. Now, about that ugly Blogspot "Jackson Now" blog and all those extra quotation marks ... (say this three times fast: commas inside quotes; periods inside quotes; commas inside quotes). The world, and all those potential newcomers, are watching, DJP. Chin up and extra quotes out! ;-)
