EWWD Hiatus

Should probably have announced this back in November when I made the decision, but I went back over my old posts and saw that really the only interest was being generated by SCAN-business related ones. While entertainment within walking distance is one of the important part of why we live in this neighborhood, I hate to put so much investment in something that has so little return. That said I will of course be continuing with the business related posts -- there just hasn't been any during these cold dark winter months. There will be a great deal in the next week thanks to VEISHEA, the Campustown Students Association, historic preservation, and an art-related announcement. All of this will also be covered in the newsletter, which will be arriving at paid members' mailboxes in the coming week.

On a related topic, the loss of the Varsity is a big blow to our neighborhood and the potential for independent movies coming to Ames. I hope something as worthwhile as the software company that went in to the Ames Theater location will find a home in the Varsity location - or that it might continue as an independent theater.
