The closing of New Baby Products is the end of an era. Back in the day, it was a wonderful alternative to Babies R’Us and a lot nearer. Plus I always liked the plain, direct name of the store.
I guess there were too many people looking for old baby products. Who knew?
They DID have a next-door used baby products store at one time. But used babies are also passé.
Street car — in my experience, when you tell two organizations to share responsibility for running something, nobody is in charge. Even if agreements are made about responsibilities, nobody wants to take ownership to making sure those are adhered to, and that lack of “project ownership” quickly trickles down to the people doing the work.
This is what happens when a project such as this is viewed, in the words of one of their senior project managers, as transportainment.
Spend $100 million and don’t get it right? Just means you need another $100 million.
East Maple is being torn up again? Didn’t this already happen?
Steve V, I feel for you all …
Why didn’t City do this work last year when the street was torn up for the GDOT project as it must have known that the Arlo work would be coming along?
The sewer is a county, not a city, project.
As always, great answer Steve, great, answer.
