Revitalization quote of the day...

"DDI subscribes to the so-called 'Disney Model' of keeping downtown clean and beautiful."
(From DDI's letter to city about why downtown's residents need to pay a special tax. Reported in today's Herald-Sun.)

I've heard plenty of people grouse about corporate groups wanting to 'Disney-fy' downtown, but I'm sort of surprised that DDI so honestly proffers Disney's Main St. as their ideal. Probably not the best communications move.

Disney constantly cleans their streets. Durham is lucky if some of the trash around downtown is picked up once a week. Could the DDI staff please walk-about and help pickup some trash every morning?
