Julie, I like the ideas and the "=". I wish we could make stuff happen with an equals sign. Do you think Costco would come?

I have no idea where, but I would love to have (and run) a parent advocacy program somewhere...it would encompass all things parenting such as custody issues/classes for parents divorcing, school choices, post-secondary options, etc., etc., etc.

Stacy, that is truly visionary. Not to steer you away from a vacant site but could the Fridley Community Center accommodate those things? I'm guessing you have something different in mind ...

Brilliant. There is a plan to make it a senior living center, so we know it can be made to handle human habitation.
