Hello, DanG; I've been catching up on Huckleberries Online and the debate about LCDC. This may be out of place, but I wanted to let you know that you should explore, on foot, the downtown area near the new library. There are a lot of young families with children in this area, including mine. I live a mere six blocks from the library. The library is definitely not for the rich people in the tower. In fact, the folks at McKuen opposed it heavily in the planning stages. When we moved here, our first two realtors tried to steer us away from downtown saying that all the young families were moving out to Hayden or on the prairie and that there weren't many children downtown. We wanted to live where we could walk to everything and did so. The first summer, we spent a good deal of our time wondering if the kids we saw playing on our street were phantoms or real. Anyway, I get pretty annoyed at the idea that no young families live downtown and wanted to set the record straight.
