Change of use

10.05.2004 21:22

Always good to see a change of use for the high, rate, rent, sector. A
radical resource centre in the middle of the city. Great idea, very
exciting. Workshops, Saturday schools, something to go into town for, into the heart of "The Merchant City", just on the edge of the artist ghetto, but in reach of the people (Barras.) Go forth, enjoy, bring back the soap box, The politics of the pavement, the art of community, the celebration of participation, the enjoyment of connection, the exercise of imagination, the freedom of expression, the power of your music, the skill of your work, the value of your time, the gift of your encouragement and the timeliness of your idea. All in the nucleus of the city, Congratulations, good work, power to your elbow. Bob
(I think such an idea, sorry, achievement, deserved a bit of Kropotkinrant)
