It’s the most thoughtful, objective read I’ve seen of Louisville. I wonder a little if he would be more sanguine about the moves downtown if he saw what the arena is reaping and what NuLu is doing… but that is not the really important thing. What he says about class and race divisions and education is something almost NEVER seriously addressed. I honestly believe we are a more tolerant, open place than Rochester, where I lived, but that the geographical and economic separation of the West End, the high number of kids in parochial schools, and the cliquishness of the city do damage to us. And we DO NOT TALK ABOUT IT.

These things are as important as architecture or sustainability.
