Draw on town's talent

We should have given the Eccentric credit for more than just its endorsement of our Booth Park plan. The following excerpt from its editorial really hits the nail on the head, and highlights one of the central tenets of the Buzz:

"Birmingham is fortunate to have so many professional people capable of drafting designs as residents. But what is far more important is that those people are willing to devote their time and effort to make their community a better place for everyone.

"That is a fundamental strength of this community. Having professional skills is important, but amounts to little without the dedication to use them to improve the quality of life for all."

Thanks to Eccentric editor Greg Kowalski for reiterating this.
