Littrell comment-46954 2011-03-05T19:29:41Z 2011-03-05T19:29:41Z There's a really great space currently for lease in Oak Park on the corner of 35th Street and 4th Ave across from the 4th Ave. Lofts. It was the first bank in Oak Park opened 1912 as the Citizen Bank by Harry Muddox (known for his bricks). It's half a block from Old Soul @ 40 Acres, the Guild Theater and the Brickhouse and Evolve Galleries. We would welcome you with open arms and support! Dustin L.

Littrell comment-45008 2011-02-03T00:02:38Z 2011-02-03T00:02:38Z A lot of lip-service was paid at last night's City Council meeting by several of it's members, saying one thing yet doing something else. It's unfortunate that the rules of the game were changed at the eleventh hour, seems wrong to impose such measures so late in the game. As I understand, the proposed design did not break any zoning rules or design guidelines and came down a matter of taste. Seems like the potential homeowners could file a lawsuit against the city if they chose too, possibly recoup architectural design fees and submittal fees paid to the city??? Folks, alley's are on the fringe and the proposed design here or on any other alley else should respond to that. Any other design would be irresponsible and ludicrous. Dustin L.

It needs local businesses offering healthy alternatives, we owe it to our residence to support those options. No more fast-food or liquor stores in Oak Park...churches and tire shops are up there for me personally as well. Dustin L. Littrell 2011-01-11T19:40:19Z Dustin L. Littrell comment-43052 2011-01-04T05:35:49Z 2011-01-04T05:35:49Z Bill - I agree with some of what you've said in your response to BillyJames4545 but how do you figure, "Their (KC) end result was a central city that is still years behind where Sacramento's is today." I beg to differ having recently visited. It's vibrant, bustling with lots of housing, dining and entertainment options, and a thriving art scene made popular by their "First Friday's". While similar to Sacramento, KC far exceeds what we've accomplished in our downtown to date. Additionally, they may not have a professional sports team but I believe that's actually allowed them to program more non-sporting events, concerts, college basketball, etc. Upon my return to Sac I was left humbled by the progress I saw in KC. I still see KC as a good example of what's possible. Dustin L. Littrell 2011-01-04T05:35:49Z Dustin L.

Littrell comment-38323 2010-10-04T15:59:31Z 2010-10-04T15:59:31Z I agree with Brian Fischer, I believe Oak Park and specifically McClatchy Park (formerly Joyland) at one time hosted Sacramento's only Velodrome. This is something the community would again embrace and it would introduce our youth to a sport that is embraced worldwide and part of the Olympics. I'm very excited at the prospect of Sacramento's own velodrome...you may even catch me on the track taking my laps as well! Dustin L. Littrell 2010-10-04T15:59:31Z Dustin L.

Unfortunately your claims about lack of activism in the neighborhood is falling on deaf ears. I can name a dozen individuals and groups who are leading a unified charge to change this negative perception that you and other continue to express about our inspired neighborhood. It may not look like much to those living outside of Oak Park, but there are great things happening right now including a new Saturday Farmers Market, new businesses, and millions of dollars in investment. I urge you to meet with me and other Oak Park activist , we'd be ecstatic to show you the progress we've made and what's in the works. This negative (and inaccurate) perception of Oak Park has to stop! Dustin L. Littrell 2010-06-24T16:48:21Z Dustin L.

It was my understanding that we were competing with many other events that particular evening. Many of the lines taken from Bruce's presentation are accurate but taken out of context and would be better understood by those who were in attendance. It was a great dialogue and many "preservationists" in attendance commented on a new perspective they'd considered after listening to everyone share. Unfortunately this could not be conveyed in Suzanne's piece. Dustin L. Littrell 2009-08-31T17:30:44Z Dustin L.

I would love to hear about "all the cities" you made mention of in your comment, these may provide evidence that could lead to me to act differently next time and unless you've spent any length of time here in Oak Park, you can't possibly know how we think. I believe there are others like me that can see the value in what's occurring. Thanks for the feedback, it's always appreciated. Dustin L. Littrell 2009-05-07T06:16:23Z Dustin L.

I should have intervened and your right, if it was someone's home I would have likely done something but because it was a tired, vacant eyesore of a lot, I chose not to. Clearly a double standard.

Littrell comment-7049 2009-05-02T01:54:55Z 2009-05-02T01:54:55Z I am very happy to see Councilwoman Hammond step-up and address the issues regarding the proposed merger. I think this will likely make for a more involved Design Review hearings in the future and greater public participation in the process, the reverse of what the DOC might have hoped for. Dustin L.

I did a 20 mile ride on a fixie last year and found it extremely difficult to complete (and I ride a little everyday). I'm rooting for you! Dustin L. Littrell 2009-05-02T01:43:13Z Dustin L.

Littrell comment-6609 2009-04-23T18:06:11Z 2009-04-23T18:06:11Z Raoul - depends what you mean by "down the street" If you can't walk there easily form the Broadway location, it doesn't count. There is a synergy around the 40 Acres development that you can't just recreate at another Starbuck's location, it's all contextual. Starbuck's is not the catalyst here, it's the Oak Park Central business district or lack thereof one currently...that's the issue and Starbuck's leaving only takes us in the wrong direction. Does this clarify the intent of why we want to keep them or find a suitable replacement? It has everything to do with business and the City benefits from those business revenues. Begging? That's not exactly how I see it. Dustin L. Littrell 2009-04-23T18:06:11Z Dustin L. Littrell comment-6552 2009-04-22T23:03:36Z 2009-04-22T23:03:36Z I think the location needs coffee and/or food, a space alone will not serve the same function. Dustin L. Littrell 2009-04-22T23:03:36Z Dustin L. Littrell comment-6550 2009-04-22T22:26:45Z 2009-04-22T22:26:45Z Being a resident of Oak Park and seeing the "Broadway" Starbuck's from my front stoop, something needs to be there and much of the neighborhood agrees. Whether that be a Starbuck's or other coffee purveyor, This location has become much more than just a coffee shop. It's become a board room, community center, conference room, meeting point, etc. that just so happens to serve coffee. In a weak economy, it will take something special to replace Starbuck's, survive and thrive. Many suggestion on how to improve the existing coffee retailer have come from local Oak Parkers and forwarded on to Al Williamson, formerly of St. Hope. Al has been in constant negotiations with Starbuck's since they announced the Broadway closure back on April 8th. Dustin L. Littrell 2009-04-22T22:26:45Z Dustin L.

Littrell comment-6459 2009-04-21T16:17:47Z 2009-04-21T16:17:47Z Catherine has definitely created a beautiful space that IS amazingly tranquil, suprising because it's located in one of the busiest mixed-use developments in Midtown.

I don't like it like that either Dustin L. Littrell 2009-04-08T19:00:59Z Dustin L.

Organizers plan to record the conversation so it's absolute clear as to the neighborhoods position regarding the proposal brought forth by the DOC and later presented to Council. This is an issue that could severely impact the way our city looks and feels. Dustin L. Littrell 2009-04-01T16:42:23Z Dustin L.

They are another group that's close to my heart, along with UDA. I really do appreciate you coming to last nights Design Dialogue and I look forward to reading that follow up piece as well. Thanks!

That community has already experienced a great deal of headache with one of the DOC members over the proposed design for the Fresh and Easy Neighborhood Market that went to a Design Review Comission appeal hearing late last year. This is going to need all of our watchful eyes on it as the final plan shakes out. Dustin L. Littrell 2009-03-25T19:16:29Z Dustin L.

Is this the call that needs to go out to our neighbors? Dustin L. Littrell 2009-02-23T20:37:08Z Dustin L.
