Create McMillan Park sign covered with PAVE IT message - in the front yard of 43 Bryant St NW
Thanks to @jacib for noticing this modified Create McMillan Park sign in the front yard of 43 Bryant St NW. Note the detective Bloomingdame spotted this Klingle Road NW reference.
To Mr. Crawford's point from earlier, this is certainly not conducive to an intelligent argument on the topic. I hope this was an isolated incident or simply a joke by the property owner.
So you want the neighborhood to be more friendly, to say hi to everyone? How about not accusing people with a different point of view of supporting terrorism - Hizballah's listed on there as a supporter of the development project. The inflexible ideologues who can't stomach that their vision isn't supported by everyone are the very people who drove me to support more development. I don't know that the development will bring the benefits it's promised, nor will it likely turn out precisely the way I wanted. But I'd rather take my chances with a corporation than with tone-deaf jackasses like this.
For what it's worth, I don't believe Friends of McMillan Park had anything to do with this. From what I've heard this appears to be a sticker left over from a prior issue back in 2003 regarding Klingle Road. Please see this article:
People will believe what they want, but that's the information that I have on hand. I agree that this wasn't a tasteful move but please don't generalize that a sticker like this represents everyone's opinion or approach who might want to see changes in the development plan.
