Two Years Later

Two years ago this month, fellow blogger Bill Santos wrote a post entitled “Ignorance” about the deterioration of the CA managed portion of the Town Center lakefront. As anyone who has visited the lakefront in recent years knows all too well, the condition of the walkways, piers, and flag tower had become an embarrassment to the entire community.

Two years later the homeowners association has finally gotten around to doing something about it. From the looks of things a major restoration effort is finally underway.

The sad thing is that the CA board had to be shamed into doing something about this instead of taking the initiative themselves. I’m not surprised though, this is exactly what happened with Symphony Woods too.

I love shamed!

WB,

Great update. Once I'm back on two feet, I will go down and check it out. Have you seen the scaffolding at night with the bell tower lights on? I wonder how that looks.

Santos haiku:

Santos is the man.
He calls it like he sees it.
We need more like him.

Shamed? You have to be kidding! What was needed was getting rid of board members who were always blocking things that benefited people. With O'Connor, et al gone, they finally work well together and get things done!

Thank you, Phil Kirsch, Alex Hekimian, Cindy Coyle, Kathleen Dragovich, Sheri Zerit, Russ Swatek, Michael Cornell, and Phil Nelson!

Anon 11:25,
With Phil Kirsch, Alex Hekimian, Cindy Coyle, Kathleen Dragovich, Sheri Zerit, Russ Swatek, Michael Cornell what are the top 5 things that have been done that have that benefited people?
I purposely left out Phil Nelson because he can only do what the Board allows.

Hey, getting rid of tot lots and towels were milestone efforts by this CA Board. And don't forget that they cut funding to Columbia's non-profits. What else do you want?
