Guess that's the same thinking that gave us that eyesore of a courthouse from the 1960s. Greenville, South Carolina has done a fabulous job revitalizing their downtown. Huntsville would do well to learn from it. I can’t believe Spencer suggested replacing the brick sidewalks downtown with concrete - they’re one of the few picturesque sights.

I would have been interested to see the responses. I would have to say Tommy Battle took that debate. He was able to make some solid points, while effectively deflecting most criticism. He also looked the most mayoral. I have to give Jackie Reed some kudos. She has a lot of fight and really cares about this city. Right or wrong, you know her heart is in the right place.
