Vision
Greg, the story of Old Louisville, St. James Court and Belgravia Court is a fascinating one, and I highly recommend a visit to the website you referenced elsewhere, oldlouisville.com. The Historic District that you are referring to is about 4 city blocks in size? The experience and knowledge you culled from your life there is terrific, and some lessons can be applied here.
The challenge for North Shore is that we have 160 blocks and more diversity. Granada Terrace is vastly different in many ways than the area from 5th Ave. to 13th Ave. Is it possible to have one common vision of this, hopefully, soon to be Historic District? I have read and understand that we have a Neighborhood Plan--does it need revisiting? How do we interest neighbors to the north in supporting the development of the southern portion of the neighborhood, and who determines what's best for that portion of the neighborhood? How about our neighbors to the west, who are the ones to struggle with the issue of commercial encroachment--how do we interest their neighbors to the east in the quality of life in the western portions of our neighborhood? How do we promote a stronger sense of cohesiveness and neighborhood identity? I'd love to hear others' thoughts on this.
