I am excluding myself from this little event because. I mean imagine a canal with flatboats transporting tourists all the way up to the gardens from the V&A. How cool would that be or not? Imagine regenerating Long, Loop and Kloof Street into Rodeo Drive CT style with a Parisian bistroland flavour. Imagine the market and flower market being more accessible. Has it? Imagine Oranjezicht and Tamboerskloof becoming exclusive hotel/lodgeland. Is it already? Imagine the Blue Route becoming just that. A blue Jacaranda lined boulevard all the way from Groote Schuur through to Tokai Imagine Camps Bay getting a slap of white paint and regenerated into the Lindos type village on the Greek isle of Rhodes. Imagine High Level Road lined with fauna and flora on both sides Imagine a medical pioneer at Groote Schuur doing something for the first time in history again. Just like Chris Barnard did. Who will it be? What will it be? Imagine a think tank with us sitting there tripping out and creating a mountain of ideas from the far fetched to the what others may see as the impossible. Nothing is impossible. It is all attainable. All it takes is outrageous desire, tenacious commitment and a pocketful of loose change for coffee breaks. Get to it. Max,

It must be lovely and inspiring to live there... no wonder your blog posts are all so well written! About the ending quote, in my opinion it isn't absolutely true (but then what is). Creativity comes from creating limits! Cutting a zero in your budget is just one way to create fresh limits, but there are so many others... :) Oh my God, I never thought that Cape was so beautiful!
