I don't twitter or text that much. My phone cannot take pictures. I don't blog. I only check my myspace and facebook about once a week.<BR/><BR/>I think I'm prematurely turning into my mom :(.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10196179149371195215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10718822.post-84056623177824680852009-02-11T18:25:00.000-06:002009-02-11T18:25:00.000-06:00Thanks, Dave...

I was happy to at least hear part of the conversation, and see others hearing it. I don't know if they listened, but they heard it. They had a record crowd, a sell out, so hopefully someone heard something she said.Patsy Terrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03265729671827964868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10718822.post-58289581176704626892009-02-10T17:01:00.000-06:002009-02-10T17:01:00.000-06:00Pardon me if I go on a bit, but this topic interes...Pardon me if I go on a bit, but this topic interests me. <BR/><BR/>Too often, towns pay lip service to the idea of new blood. "Great," they say, "as long as we don't have to stretch beyond our comfort zone." (There are exceptions, of course. I know a Chamber VP who quotes "The Blues Brothers.") <BR/><BR/>Color me cynical, but having done the Chamber thing in a couple of places, I know the head honchos are usually higher-ups in the branch offices of international corporations -- as a group, hardly the kind to relate to workers a couple of generations younger who want book readings and cool coffeehouses. <BR/><BR/>Every town of Hutch's size that's not a college town is fighting the brain-drain battle. Many are trying revitalized downtowns, with loft apartments and entertainment districts. But until the "knowledge workers" morph into movers and shakers, don't expect a ton of change. Or even after that. <BR/><BR/>To truly attract waves of young people, Hutch would have to become something you don't want to be: Chicago or KC. Try getting across town in 20 minutes then. <BR/><BR/>As to meetings, have an agenda and hold them standing up a half hour before lunch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
