http://downtowneugene.blogspot.com/2008/01/past-vs-too-small-argument.html
Saturday, January 12, 2008. The Past vs. The "Too Small" Argument. When nurturing community, we generally try to:. 1 preserve and enhance what we have. 2 encourage community-based initiatives to solve community problems. 3 recover the bits we've lost. Let's talk about #3 for a moment. There's a good standard argument, useful in launching this kind project. When we launched the non-profit Tango Center. The criticism was made that Eugene was "too small" for a full-time partner dance venue. One City Council...

Downtown Eugene: User-generated downtown
http://downtowneugene.blogspot.com/2008/04/user-generated-downtown.html
Thursday, April 17, 2008. When we launched our non-profit public dance-hall, The Tango Center. One of our main incentives, was to provide places downtown where people could actually do. There's nothing wrong with going downtown to shop or drink, or take in a show or a movie - but we wanted to see if we could successfully create a self-sustaining activity, by providing people an opportunity to learn. From each other, and be creative. Maybe user-generated activity is the. Formula for a successful downtown&...

Downtown Eugene: Occupy Downtown
http://downtowneugene.blogspot.com/2012/06/occupy-downtown.html
Tuesday, June 26, 2012. One of Eugene's great political moments was the humbling of the City's destructive downtown Urban Renewal fund in 2007 (see previous posts).

The development of new or modified space, not vice versa. S work for other. From 2008's Downtown Together. Gathe...

Downtown Eugene: Balance
http://downtowneugene.blogspot.com/2013/05/balance.html
Tuesday, May 28, 2013. Everyone appreciates the effort and care put into downtown by its new workers, commercial and non-profit, during the recent boom. Some lovely and touching stuff is emerging. So I shouldn't be critical. This is an important and positive story. But, although it's early days still, there is.
