The same "Christal Methodist's" that brought us New World Odour? Great stuff!The city government looks to US cities, like Austin, and Portland, where there are thriving digital scenes, and imagines that this would be the fastest and most complementary way to revive.
-Is that an unrealistic expectation by your estimation?
Hah, yes. Thanks! My handle was Khmer Ribs. I co-founded the band at Reed College, with Shrimpy Skampers (Patrick Burkart.) Yeah, I do think it's unrealistic. Most state investment in east Germany goes towards infrastructure building and unemployment, due to the region's continued need for post-communist rehabilitation. The German government would have to change priorities, and reinvest equally in the private sector to make things work. That's not going happen any time soon, I wager.
