Friday May 11 - Recovery Czar Ed Blakely takes Broadway South to Chicago
9:00 AM
• Chicago Convention of Urban Land Institute hears Dr. Blakely present on Initiative
Having flown to Chicago on the day prior on the invitation of Dr. Ed Blakely, I have breakfast with Dr. Blakely and later that morning present the New Orleans presentation for the redevelopment of the city to the Urban Land Institute. This is the largest convention in the nation to discuss urban issues. Dr. Blakely honors Broadway South and myself by allowing us to appear at this all-important convention with him and incorporates the Broadway South idea and PowerPoint into his presentation for how he will rebuild New Orleans. Today is a momentous day in the history of this initiative!
• For the remainder of the day, with Dr. Blakely, meeting financial groups and financial radio hosts, we do a Sirius Radio financial interview together and then fly home that night after having a long productive day. We continue to discuss the many possibilities how Broadway South will have a positive impact on New Orleans.
