Damn is this an open invitation to the subreddit to collab with the Arc developers? What clout we have.

I'm just imagining them citing this outreach to the HPC: "Meeting with X number of members of r/Newark."

Nah it was my idea to meet with them, I wanted to with the design and convince them to make the tower art deco with the same body design. I figure with our minds and their architects we can create something for Newark from the people who live eat and sleep in Newark. Who knows we might be able to live in the tower for free 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

If you can get them to pivot that way it would be wondrous. Then they can go back to the HPC and point to the Walker House, RBG Hall, and Eleven80 as complementary. The two tower examples in this article may be helpful: https://www.dezeen.com/2019/06/07/art-deco-architecture-design-projects/

If my calendar doesn't fill up I'll join y'all. Just publicize the time here.

Awesome! I’ll have the shuttle drop me off in front of RBS - did you set up a discord server to discuss in depth? And to consolidate our ideas/thoughts?

You can count me in. Good on you for organizing this.

Would love to see how we can get this project greenlit // what problems they're facing.

Edit: WAIT IS THAT CALVIN SOUDER!???

I met this guy in Martha's Vineyard, and he coincidentally just LinkedIn requested me a few days ago.

Small world.

Yes that is thee Calvin Sounder😂 Issues the developer is facing is not meeting with the James street association, and most likely the design of the tower. If we can convince them to make the building have modern art deco facade that pays tribute to the neighborhood and maybe the James street association can have a new headquarters on the inside. The tower should offer an observation deck or floor so people can go inside in visit, than the most of the profits can go to the James Street Association to help restore and prevent historic buildings from getting demolished. And maybe we can incorporate the facade into the new tower

I would really like to make this, but I have a work meeting I can't get out of next Tuesday at around the same time :(

I'd be so down to join. Will this be our first official meetup... including the OG's from WiredNY?

But Tuesday at noon... damn, that's tough. Tuesday 1/31 or 2/7? Can we do a zoom call?

Sadly no zone call for this meeting, this is a hands on experience to help the developer meet the undying standards of James street association. But a meeting with the group itself would be cool to have once a month
