If you like this, you'll like all of Bosques de mi mente's work (the name, by the way, means "Forests of My Mind"). . . and, even better for you, it's all available for free. You can find it either at his website or at Last.fm.
Something more serious now . . . The Wichita Downtown Development Corporation has just received funding from the city council to support its development of a master plan for the urban core and has a site called Momentum where it is posting info and soliciting input from citizens regarding their vision of downtown. I just wrote them a long-winded letter in which I expressed my desire that they envision their residents as not just sleeping there or being entertained there but as genuinely living there and so should make the area more alt-transportation friendly and see about recruiting a large full-service grocery store or a couple of smaller ones along those same lines. I hope you'll visit their site as well and write them as the spirit moves you.

This is good news, thanks for posting! Will anyone be attending their public meetings?
Anon,
I hope to put in an appearance or two. I think that, assuming we can approach this thing imaginatively and a whole bunch of deals have not been cut already, and assuming there's genuine interest in hearing citizen input, we (that is, all of us) could have a downtown that is prosperous in the usual sense of the word and truly livable.
