I had time to spend thinking about this city and our neighborhoods. So often I hear /read such negative things about this city. If I recall properly, Lowell put this site up as a proper forum for new ideas and positive thoughts/deeds regarding the city.

Bad things do happen here. I am not naive. It is my chosen home however. If people would invest into positives I would be thrilled. I have to admit that this forum is starting to sound like Detroit No.

So many people just congradulating themselves on how they escaped is becoming a dead bore. The burbs are fine, did that myself for a bit. Schools for my kids were an issue.

Just please, please, try to keep this forum up beat. "how do we fix it? how do we make it better?" That should be banner news and in the forefront of most posts!
