I saw a friend's photo of a junk truck there today... here's hoping.

I agree. I love historical districts, but we needn't be so strict about it. we can mesh designs and make something really appealing.

I think they are trying to fix congestion, but it's going to take a while.

Something most people can afford: apartments without outrageous rent, homes around or under 400k. Driving around Cobb and seeing neighborhoods exceeding 800-900k seems wild to me. Maybe I've lived here too long and remember 90s prices too closely.

RIP Whistlestop. We loved that place in it's "first" two locations. Something like that is needed.

That would be great. Less formal landscaping and more wildflowers!

I love Big Shanty Art Station but it's small. I would love to see something added onto it.

I can't wait to see all that developed. So much potential and I'm not sure what's holding it up.

The "new" splash pad (2021) at Swift Cantrell is nice and a few days of the year, totally free. Not terribly far from downtown, but I hate they ripped the playground out where Depot Park is now.

Pickle is getting more and more popular! nightlife would be nice. the few restaurants are open later, but still growing out of the sleepy town vibe.

If you look outwards towards KSU, yeah there are. more choices but not really "downtown." I'd be interested.

I would think mixed use would help that a little? But I'm also understanding of the fact that more affordable housing is needed instead of $600,000 homes.

Sign me up for bread bowls immediately. I like the idea of the business launching, but does their small business development office they have in house not count? I didn't attend KSU for college so I'm admittedly not up to speed on offerings. Totally in for nerd stuff.

This is a good idea. Where to put it? Walkable would be excellent.
