King Edward Groundbreaking


I attended the King Edward groundbreaking today, along with Haley Barbour, Leland Speed, Phil Bryant, Frank Melton, Billy McCoy, Ben Allen, David Watkins, Pres Kabacoff, and a slew of other city leaders and young professionals. Othor Cain and his short-sighted cronies would have all had heart attacks had they been in attendance. It must be very disheartening for the anti-development crowd to see such a powerful and diverse group of leaders come together in support of this project.

I snuck into the King Edward's lobby (wearing a hard hat, of course). Let's just say that there is a lot to be done. And by a lot, I mean a LOT.

Capitol Street in the 1950's

And 2010's? We'll see.
