love my job
tonight i met the guy who designed the eastside gateway feature. that won’t mean much to most or all of you but it means a heck of a lot to me. the eastside gateway feature is a new landscape that i drive by numerous times per day at the splitting of east university and hawthorne road. it is gorgeous. just a stop and stare stunning piece of roadway landscape. by some long turn of events i had emailed the gcra (gainesville community redevelopment agency) to compliment them on the newly finished gateway feature. the man i met tonight was the guy who got that email and this guy is part of the team who makes things like that happen. it was exciting for me. like if i could meet the person who made the waldo road greenway happen… but that’s another story. the story tonight was about being able to meet the man who envisioned the gateway. i love it. for me it is government money being used wisely. thanks to anthony lyons.
i tell you what i will do to prove this point. i will photo this feature tomorrow, as the website only shows an artist rendering. i will photo and report back here to show you the kind of things that really excite me.
