Kind of a sour grapes article from someone who knows that better things will come from this. Hendricks knows business and knows the benefits...but the crusty old guys at Jim's would much rather read about how terrible our downtown is becoming than all of the great steps we're taking to improve it. So he writes to sell papers, which is sort of his job...
