Funny you should bring that up as I just mentioned the Villages at an Urbana City Council meeting two weeks ago. As the Mayor and City council president are both class mates of mine, they tolerate my expressing my feelings about Urbana to others in attendance and on the local TV channel. My suggestions were to encourage everyone to tell others about Urbana in glowing terms and look at things differently or out of the box so to speak.
As most of you do with TV, I encourage people to visit Urbana and have kind thoughts about the community. When at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh this year, I told people about the museums we have at Grimes Field and please fly in when in the area. I then invited local Urbana citizens to do the same when they travel about the country.
I then showed them my UMX Radian mod to suggest that they look at things differently. Will it fly? I told them that I now look at the phrase “growth can be a necessary evil” differently because of my new relationship with a community called the Villages in Florida. Growth can be exciting, fun, and make things possible that would be very difficult to achieve with a stagnant population. Almost all at the meeting suggested that they dust of the 2007 city growth plans for another look.
I love Urbana and will never lose that feeling I have for it as I/my wife plan our move to TV.
It does fly->
