RE the future of our town

While I appreciate and enjoy our official town email list (TownTalk) I've been feeling the need for a broader way to discuss some of the ideas that come up on the list. Also, the need to post some photos and charts in conjunction with ideas I'd like to toss out. Perhaps a blog such as this is one way to go... I'm going to try it and see how it works. Please bear with me while I figure out the very basics of how to do things here!

Do you know about the upcoming meetings hosted by the developers of the Cafritz Property (the large swath of land on the east side of Rt.1. between the post office and College Park). "Community workshops" are scheduled at Riverdale Elementary School "to discuss the development of the Cafritz Property."

Here's their link: http://www.cafritzpop.com/

• Saturday, June 2, 2007: 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. Community Workshop 1 (come by any time!)
• Thursday, June 7, 2007: 7:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. Community Workshop 2 (identical to Workshop 1)
• Thursday, June 14, 2007: 7:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. Workshop Summary Session

Here's our County Council Rep. Eric Olson's letter on the subject: http://rethinkcollegepark.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/Olson_Cafritz%20meetings.pdf

And here's my rendering of the outlines of the property along with some other new developments and other relevant info on a map of our area:
