Mueller Lake Park Outdoor Amphitheater
A Lot More Than Just Architecture and Planning
RECEIVED Thu., April 14, 2005
Editor,
Highest compliments to Mike Clark-Madison for his coverage of the downtown development saga [“Delay of Game,” News, April 8]. As a relative newcomer to Austin (two years) who is most interested in how our town develops, I find Clark-Madison's work quite illuminating. He weaves together enough history, civic perspective, and political candor that I can feel how alive this set of issues/opportunities really is. It's a lot more than just architecture and planning. The "Delay of Game" piece and the earlier "Downtown Dominoes" [News, April 9, 2004] have helped me get a grip on how our city works in matters of civic vision.
