This looks like an interesting meeting. The plan to buy the old armory on Highland Ave and use it as an arts center fell through, but the mayor may have another plan for a city-wide arts center. (Rumor has it, by the way, that the armory was purchased by the owners of the Middle East. So perhaps it'll be used for something better than yet more condos.)
