If you look at the demographics, we've got as good a population as any part of town.

We realize we're pretty much at the mercy of business. Our goals are to keep the area vibrant and keep it clean.

Our numbers show Southern Hills is still a viable part of the town -- nothing's changed. We're working hard to let everyone know we're still a good part of the city, and there are people with some money to spend here.

It is not a good perception for the city when people come here to dine and then they come back [from dinner] and can't find their car.

If you want it residential, that means you would have to upgrade the stairways, and if you upgrade the stairways, you're going to kill the historic look of it.

It's very hard to pin a date on it, but we'd like to finish by the end of the year.
