Town Council feedback

Thanks to Nancy Moors for speaking out against the proposed hidden site of the AIDS memorial.
Without many of the individuals honored by such a memorial, the whole Hillcrest Town Council and neighborhood would be very different. They deserve a memorial location that is visible and accessible.
There are many sites in and around Balboa Park, Florida Canyon and Morley Field that would be more suitable.

I just wanted to note that I live on Seventh Avenue and Pennsylvania and fully support the building across from the AT&T eyesore and the alley entrance is a benefit as far as I’m concerned.
The current lot is an eyesore and is full of feces, broken glass, and needles!!!

Targeting expansion

I think this is wonderful! Very excited to have this store even closer to my University Heights home. Many people are worried about Target killing small business in North Park — but the majority of the independent shops in the area sell very unique/specialty items that you wouldn’t find in a Target (think Pigment, Rufskin, Heart & Trotter, etc.).
Target sells basic goods that people need to live. I can’t imagine it will be competition to these merchants — but will bring more people into the neighborhood who will very likely explore all the other wonderful cool shops, bars, restaurants, etc. I can’t wait!
