No Half-Stepping The addition of a baseball stadium to downtown Greensboro will lend momentum to our planned urban renaissance, but we are still two projects shy of critical mass. I wrote about one-- the brownfield site at South Elm and Lee--in today's paper. (This morning's column by the N&R's Lorraine Ahearn makes a similar point with some passion.) The other must-fix is the old Wachovia building at Elm and Friendly. This post-Miesian eyesore must pain its owner JP Financial, which has cleaned out all the asbestos but not found a user for the 17-story glass-and-steel relic. Get those things done, and downtown will fly. Stop at baseball, and downtown will not do much. 10:26:57 AM   comment []
