Less than 30 days to go and we want to test our reader’s extrasensory perception. We are asking Historic City News readers to “look into the future” and report, either here or by e-mail, what effect, if any, they believe the 450th Anniversary will have on their business or employment.

Dear Historic City News readers:
What to do with the former Dow Museum of Historic Houses? This relatively straight forward question has generated a fair amount of passion, raised a bumper crop of yard signs and caused many to ask, “Just what the heck is a PUD?”

Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
I have followed with great interest the debate over the Cordova Inn PUD. I worked on the buildings for several months, so I know the buildings, the site, and the issues very well.

I have delayed writing about the proposed PUD for the Dow property, however, a recent article in the New York Times about tourism, and the approaches taken in different cities to avoid the negative impacts it can have, has prompted me to write now.

Kids are very perceptive, and in northeast Florida they know smoking is gross and dangerous. They know secondhand smoke is harmful and they do not want to breathe it in. We field a lot of questions from kids on where people are allowed to smoke.
