What would you do with Moraine Farm?

Story in today’s DDN about NCR putting Moraine Farm up for sale, asking $8 million.

This has been floating around for some time. Now that it’s out, here is the question:

What do you think are some possible uses for the place?

Please don’t leave the usual NCR-bashing or Dayton-is-dying nonsense; I won’t bother to share it. I’m looking for actual, no-kidding suggestions for how this fabulous, amazing structure and property could be reused by somebody to enhance our community.

So … thoughts?

Google fun!

I know this isn’t a big thing, but I’m always amused and charmed by the quirky special designs the smart folks at Google come up with for their logo on the main search page.

Today it’s in honor of the Perseid Meteor Shower, of all things! It’s well-designed and very cool.

My favorite was a few months ago for Jackson Pollock’s birthday… You can probably figure out how the thing looked…

I appreciate the little day-brightener. I suspect I’m not the only one, since the company has a space on their site where you can prowl back through the years to see the specialized and holiday logos from homepages past. Check ‘em out.

Got a favorite? Let us know!
