Will there be a place for parades to start in March 2009?


Please click on photo to see the gathering of residents of Fayetteville, Arkansas, for the annual OMNI Center for Peace, Justice and Ecology peace parade on March 11, 2007.

Will the hotel and parking deck discussed below leave room for such events as this and the Springfest activities in the third photo of the previous post? Does everyone have to park in front of the WAC to participate in public events on Dickson Street or to enjoy the nightlife on Dickson Street?
Plenty of people believe Dickson Street has already been filled in to perfection. Do we need more "infilling."

How would using the currently underground spring at the site to power a "water feature" affect the quality and amount of flow of Tanglewood Branch of the Town Branch of the West Fork of the White River? See Dec. 14, 2007, and Sept. 19, 2007, posts on this Web log for photos of more threats to the Tanglewood Branch.


NWA TIMES story on Dickson Street Hotel, Parking for WAC

Before the lot was paved, the spring was among Fayetteville's historic spots that was as good as any man-made water feature could ever be to the children of the city's finest citizens, who grew up "hanging out on Dickson" long before they were old enough to be allowed into Dickson Street's adult watering holes.

Do you think the cowbirds care about springs and streams and peace-loving people?

Yeah, they care. But in a different way than Aubrey does. They hate having this sort of stuff going on. How much revenue does the peace parade and a piddly little branch of the streams feeding our watershed bring in for their pet developers?
