Save our Source blog

Save Our Source "is a new blog for the grass-roots effort to preserve and restore the Source Theatre facility at 1835 14th Street, NW, as a vital cultural asset for the entire metro area of Washington, DC." (from the blog header)

Again, I will state that this is another instance of the necessity of having a cultural assets development and management "business" plan for the District of Columbia.

As similar problems arise--the failure of the City Museum, funding issues for the Heurich Mansion, the displacement of the Washington Glass School to Arlington, and the closure, hopefully temporarily, of the Washington Sculpture Center (the latter two due to eminent domain land seizure in favor of the new baseball stadium)--it is a clear demonstration that the ad-hoc under- and un-planned reactions and scramblings in response aren't working in terms of developing a more comprehensive approach to the problems and the opportunities offered by such events.

You can't help but understand my frustration to see the same kind of "process" unfold each time, often unsuccessfully.
