The 6th Ward Scene

I saw this month's edition yesterday where Ald. Lyle had a representative of Renaisannce Row. I joined the show almost 10 minutes after one and I immediately picked up that her and her guest were discussing development on 75th Street. It sounds all great that there is going to be some commercial development in the way of retail, restaurants, or what have you. In fact it's great that there is some redevelopment.

The Alderman says that parking is an issue, but certainly not traffic so perhaps 75th has some advantages compared to either 71st Street or 79th. Well 71st may not have the traffic of 75th or 79th streets.

Anyway the end of the program provided a website @ renaissancerow.com. For which I may offer a critique.

The critique is to say that I'm elated that there is a website, but I'm somewhat dissapointed. If the point of this website is to advertise another place for people to shop and eat well I would like to see more from the presentation. I'm big on minimalism, but I think there should be some elements of good design and perhaps pictures of scenes on 75th Street. Just a few ideas for them.

That is assuming that they will read this blog. Play it up a lil Renaissance Row!
