Beautify Raleigh!!!!

May 18, 2003

Hello everyone,
I am excited about the possibility of making Raleigh beautiful again. Raleigh reminds me of an "older" lady, who still has grace and beauty, but needs a remake to make her beauty shine. I propose that we beautify Raleigh with flowers. Red and white flowers that make an exclamation point. We can plant the flowers possibly down Stage and Covington Pike,. If that is a success, we then will branch off into other parts of Raleigh and Frayser too. Would it not be nice to drive down Stage and see flowers. We have "guests" driving thru Raleigh everyday. Perception is everything when it comes to first impressions.

And what about this idea? American flags on all utility poles down Stage. This is a great example of American pride and leadership for the rest of Memphis. Why don't we have American pride for the entire year, and not just on the 4th of July, or Memorial Day? Bartlett has flags flying year around seems like. I want Raleigh to stand out from the rest of the city. Raleigh is the last "stronghold" of the city of Memphis, before you enter the county, right? We live on the outskirts of the city and border the county. Let's make a difference and support a beautiful Raleigh. Beauty promotes health and health promotes longevity. The "older" lady deserves to be treated with class and respect.

If you guys have any suggestions or ideas please email me. I love talking to you and respect all ideas.
