Yes, the Mayor made an appearance on John Street. The Mayor was there will various groups of promoters of the Renaissance Point vision. Of course, I asked the Mayor a couple of questions in which he gave me misinformation and passed me off to Herb Delagrange.
Delagrange is secretary/treasurer of Delagrange Homes. I wanted to know how soon would a home be ready for occupancy. The answer was the six model homes will be just that model homes. Those interested in a home in the area can select a lot and have their home built to their specifications.
It was a great photo op for the outgoing Mayor. Many of the folks had probably not been in the central city in their entire life. But all the folks did were make little speeches to their groupies and talked about the past as if it was not part of the present for the promises of the future. Yes pretend, boys and girls, that the downtown skylight that could be seen from the John Street location would somehow attract young raced white males to the heart of the city.
And if the skylight did not work, maybe Zion church and and it school would be an option to young raced white families who hate Fort Wayne Community School.
What are your impressions of Renaissance Pointe eight weeks after the grand opening?
