Warriorpride This is really a more important issue to me than where the school ends up. A perfect example of where this plays out would be the dialog on this board. I don't have the answer on how to solve what's occurred. But it does concern me deeply. I wish I had the answer to what could be done. But I don't. Other than a few radicals, which you can never fully get rid of, I don't that I've seen north vs. south dialog on this board. You you? If so, please provide examples. Note: pointing out where a person lives (subdivision or general location) and then disagreeing with their opinion and/or questioning their motives is not an example of being divisive, IMHO. It just seems that some are so quick to take things as a "slam" against WVHS. I think that's really unproductive and I actually think it's harmful to WVHS. It perpetuates the whole thing. |

Rather than just looking at open land, one should look at potential buy/flatten places too.
I wonder if there are some owners who would want to sell out empty buildings/warehouses and land by the Rt59 station or up by Diehl or on Eola

Arch-I have posted that question before. Why not look at open buildings?

I wonder if there are some owners who would want to sell out empty buildings/warehouses and land by the Rt59 station or up by Diehl or on Eola There still is a very large parcel on Eola near Diehl that is unbuilt upon. (Zoned Residential) I wonder what the "offer was for that parcel? Apparently there was one made to the SB, but they never disclosed it. |

I wonder if there are some owners who would want to sell out empty buildings/warehouses and land by the Rt59 station or up by Diehl or on Eola I think that any land that is walking distance to the train station will be very expensive. Are any of those commercial lots empty? If they are I think we should brace ourselves for more students because that land would be extremely desirable if it were zoned residential. |

Ok, it's good to be clear about it, rather than obscure references.
As I recall, the curch wanted money for the land, AND the SD to buy/provide another 80-acre plot to them (which just gives you the same problem again)

Online poll results as of 9am 1/26:

No 57% 2,385
LOTS of No votes since yesterday! Seems fishy!

Lehigh went for how much an acre? More than Macom wants? |

I wonder if it's possible that this poll can be tampered with? That poll was as scientific as the one in this article: www.suburbanchicagonews.com/napervillesun/news/230238,6_1_NA26_GAP_S1.article The parents of this homely baby enlisted the help of overseas relatives to stuff the ballot box. (Just kidding about the homely part.) |
