My family can tell you I was as excited as a schoolgirl at Build-a-Bear when I saw the drawings for the planned Ash Brokerage headquarters in downtown Fort Wayne. This. Is. TREMENDOUS. What a fantastic looking building for our city.
But as I studied the building yesterday, I came across some disgruntled comments about it, and they were more than just complaints about Cindy's Diner. (Note: Cindy's current location is not original, and all involved parties want to find it a new home.) Some people didn't like the modern look; some didn't like the sheer size of it.
Let me try to lay some fears to rest. There are three tangible ways this structure will help connect downtown.
It connects to the structures of downtown
I've heard commenters say that this doesn't match the historic nature of downtown Fort Wayne. And it certainly doesn't look like the Star Bank building or Lincoln Tower to the east, or the block of buildings across Wayne Street.
But downtown Fort Wayne is not in any way a uniformly historic-looking downtown. Right across Berry Street from the Ash HQ is the modern looking Metro building. One block away is the second-tallest building, PNC Bank, and not far is One Summit Square, both of which are strikingly modern. This new structure complements them handsomely.
Besides, good design isn't always about matching. Often, it's about mixing. Contrast is a great design tool, whether we're talking about typefaces, colors, or buildings. Historic and contemporary can live very comfortably side by side as long as the next point is taken into account.
It connects to the sidewalks of downtown
I think a lot of people have been turned off by modern architecture because of some of our unfortunate "starchitects" who forgot about relating the building to the street and pedestrian. But that's not the fault of a modern design.
David Sucher, author of "City Comforts," identifies the Three Rules for Urban Design; that is, the elements that mark an urban design versus a suburban one. It's all in the site plan:
- Build to the sidewalk (i.e., property line).
- Make the building front "permeable" (i.e., no blank walls).
- Prohibit parking lots in front of the building.
Look at the sketch of the building above. Just like a great urban building of the early 20th century, this early 21st century one is friendly to pedestrians. The retail filling most of the first floor softens what could have been a foreboding blank steel wall. We citizens of Fort Wayne will rarely get to see the building from the angle seen above, but most of us will walk by it. It's much friendlier than a parking lot.
It connects to the space of downtown
Currently, the parts of downtown west of this spot — including the library, the Ferguson Building at Berry and Ewing, and the soon-to-be University of Saint Francis downtown campus — can feel a little isolated from the rest of downtown. That's partly because of how large surface parking lots dampen pedestrian traffic.
Consider how successful Lunch on the Square at the corner of Calhoun and Wayne is, and then consider how far you have to walk to find surface parking from there. The parking garages lacking first-floor retail or office space aren't helping, but there is no huge block-sized surface parking within a few blocks.
But this is one of the greatest gifts of this project: It fills a hole in our downtown. It connects the areas to its west and east, and to its north and south. Downtown will feel more "whole" and will feel even larger, in a wonderful way.
This is big news for downtown Fort Wayne, and not just for the developers. It's big news for all of us who call this city home. A thriving downtown is the nucleus of a city, and this only strengthens our core. Great job, Ash Brokerage, for investing in downtown, and in all of us.

Anyone who thought the Newcastle victory would lead to a relentless surge into the Europa League places by the Blues would have been massively disappointed as a gutsy but ultimately blunt display leaves the Toffees marooned in midtabe and edging closer to the unwanted Premier League draw record…..
Everton made one enforced change in personnel with Jonny Heitinga a like for like replacement for Phil Neville in midfield. Strategy and formation wise it was the same from St James on Saturday, however an early injury to Arteta would see Leon Osman switch to the left flank and Coleman slot in on the right. Birmingham also suffered an early injury to Bentley so Murphy played left mid, Larsson wide right with Beausejour the closest central midfield support to the often stranded Jerome.
Blunt Blues
The injury to Arteta was a massive blow to our chances of breaking down a Birmingham side who as mentioned in the preview are built on defensive shape and getting bodies between the ball and their goal. As soon as the Spaniard pulled up you could sense the feeling around the stadium that this wasn't going to be our night. Fair play to Leon Osman though who slotted into the role of the most advanced midfielder and turned in a man of the match display, although Tony Hibbert ran him close to this honour with some great old school sliding tackles that you very rarely see in the modern non contact game of 'The EPL'.
With Arteta sidelined we basically had 3 born and bred defenders (Heitinga, Rodwell & Coleman) playing in midfield and this was reflected in the lack of incision in Birmingham 's final third. The chalkboard analysis below shows the passing of our 2 centre mids- notice how combined only 1 ball gets played into the Birmingham 18 yard box all night. Not for the first time this season our most threatening player was marauding full back Leighton Baines who was unlucky not to add to his growing back catalogue of assists with several delicious crosses, notably to Coleman in the first half.
Blues concede first again.
Not for the first time this season the Blues conceded the first goal of the game, and again the origin came down our left side, but as the screenshots show Heitinga was at fault….
Heitinga and Beausejour circled in the build up to the goal…Notice in the next shot below Heitinga shows poor concentration by switching off allowing Beausejour to drift into the box unmarked and head home
Quite damningly, it was the 7th time we have conceded from a cross into our box in our last 8 games. In games against well organized but ultimately limited offensive sides like Birmingham ,with our own attacking deficiencies you simply have to keep a clean sheet to have a chance of winning the game. This has been endemic in us now racking up 13 draws – just 3 away from equalising the Premier League record of 16 – Birmingham have also chalked up the same tally.
We struggled to create any clear cut chances and the goal from Heitinga really came out of nothing. The Dutchman did superbly to curve a shot over a host of Birmingham players and into the roof of the net after Osman's corner had been deflected into his path. For the most part watching the permanently angry Dutchman this campaign, he has lacked application and looked uncomfortable in any position he has been asked to deploy… but this goal was a gem
Birmingham shape – Brum's defence is built on shape, notice how they have 2 banks of four in close proximity to each other to squeeze any space between the lines. They will not compromise this shape – notice that when Saha drops deep (blue arrow) to look for the ball/create space Jiranek doesn't track him and maintains his position. On the few occasions Birmingham's centre backs did get pulled out of position there was no movement into the space created by Everton's static centre mids.
Second Half
The second period was pretty much the same as the first, something of a poor man's version of the Attack v Defence exercise witnessed at the Nou Camp on Tuesday, as Everton dominated the ball but, unlike Barca, simply couldn't find a way around Big Eck's well drilled unit. With their fullbacks tucking in and Mutch and Bowyer sat in front of the centre backs, Birmingham were happy for us to have the ball and only pressed us once we got 35 yards from their goal.
7 points from the last 9 available represents a tidy return for the Blue although many fans will be rightly dismayed that again we have failed to put a team from the league's lower echelons to the sword at home. We have now failed to beat any of the bottom 5 clubs in the league at home, and the problem is blindingly obvious. You can bridge the financial gap to some extent with a well organized defensive unit and through belligerence, but in the final third money talks – until the grim financial situation changes at the club I fear the results and frustration which we have witnessed this campaign will continue.

1So the king and Haman went to the banquet with Queen Esther. 2Again, on this second day, as they were drinking wine, the king said to Esther, "Whatever you ask, Queen Esther, shall be granted you. Whatever request you make, even for half the kingdom, shall be honored."a 3Queen Esther replied: "If I have found favor with you, O king, and if it pleases your majesty, I ask that my life be spared, and I beg that you spare the lives of my people. 4For we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, killed, and annihilated. If we were only to be sold into slavery I would remain silent, for then our distress would not have been worth troubling the king."b 5King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther, "Who and where is the man who has dared to do this?"c 6Esther replied, "The enemy oppressing us is this wicked Haman." At this, Haman was seized with dread of the king and queen.
7The king left the banquet in anger and went into the garden of the palace, but Haman stayed to beg Queen Esther for his life, since he saw that the king had decided on his doom. 8When the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman had thrown himself on the couch on which Esther was reclining; and the king exclaimed, "Will he also violate the queen while she is with me in my own house!" Scarcely had the king spoken when the face of Haman was covered over.
Punishment of Haman. 9d Harbona, one of the eunuchs who attended the king, said, "At the house of Haman stands a stake fifty cubits high. Haman made it for Mordecai, who gave the report that benefited the king." The king answered, "Impale him on it." 10So they impaled Haman on the stake he had set up for Mordecai, and the anger of the king abated.

An anti-police riot, Islamic terror attacks and a massive increase in the numbers of immigrants all add to America's growing racial strains. In spite of all this, the Establishment continues its rapid push for a dramatic increase in the numbers of non-whites and the end of conservative white America.
The terror attacks at the weekend did not result in any fatalities but were an unpleasant experience for people in three states. More will certainly come. The result will likely be a swing to the right politically.
Bret Stephens, a former editor of the Jerusalem Post, who now writes a weekly column for the Wall Street Journal, observed this week that "as terrorist attacks become more common, tolerance for liberal pieties will wane."
England was the first country to react with the anti-foreigner Brexit vote; Germany has voted in three regional elections in the last few weeks, each time rejecting the liberal immigration policy of Chancellor Angela Merkel; now the US is set to vote. It will be a close election, but Donald Trump has the advantage when it comes to security. Neither Mrs. Clinton nor President Obama can utter the words "radical Islam" and, following three terror attacks at the weekend, both are calling for more Muslim immigration.
In Germany, the AfD (Alternative for Deutschland Party), with an anti-immigrant program, gained the most in regional elections. Some are saying that this is reminiscent of the 1930's, that the AfD is composed of neo-Nazis. Note the following from the London Daily Mail:
"Are the anti-immigration AfD exactly the same as the Nazis? No, of course not. And it would be a mistake to write off all their voters as racists or extremists.
Many of them are ordinary, working-class Germans, alarmed by the influx of so many newcomers and by the reports of sexual assaults in cities such as Munich and Cologne. In that respect, they are not so different from the 3.8 million people who voted for UKIP in our last general election.
Well, up to a point. For what's truly disturbing is that AfD officials tried to book a rally in Munich's Hofbräukeller, the beer hall where Hitler gave his first speech as a member of the Nazi Party in October 1919.
And they have also tried to revive the word 'volkisch' — conjuring up folksy images of the country's home-grown culture — which the Nazis used to set Germans apart from their supposed racial inferiors." (Dominic Sandbrook).
Clearly, the current invasion is having a dramatic effect on domestic politics.
In the Muslim world, most people believe the West is at war with Islam. Long memories of the Crusades, when western Christendom was at war with Islam for two centuries, continue to drive national direction – Israel is "the crusader state," the modern equivalent of the medieval Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem established by the Crusaders in the eleventh century.
The Muslims are not the only ones driven by history. Central Europeans are mostly against taking in refugees. They remember that Islamists got to the gates of Vienna as recently as 1683. The Siege of Vienna took place on September 11th of that year, resulting in the defeat of the Muslims by the next day. It was the end of another push for the destruction of Christianity by Islam. It's interesting to note that the re-emergence of extremist Sunni Islam appeared on the same date, September 11th, 2001. A message was clearly being sent: "we're back – and this time we will defeat you." Their goal is the destruction of the West.
And how does the West react? With compromise. "Let's bring them all to America and they will change!!!" The naivety is sometimes astounding, but it shows just how deeply entrenched is the ideal of multiculturalism. Here's a few lines from Bloomberg News in an editorial from today's Lansing State Journal: "Refugees go to the considerable strain of moving to the US because they seek opportunities to work hard and improve their lives. Thus, they can be a boon to their new communities – creating jobs, stabilizing shrinking school districts, revitalizing blighted neighborhoods, and helping communities thrive". Think about the stabilization of shrinking school districts – with a higher birthrate, Islam would soon be the dominant religion in many of our schools.
These statements are at variance with former Muslim writer, Salman Rushdie who addressed an audience in New York on C-Span. He pointed out that when a Muslim moves from the Middle East to Detroit, he is NOT looking to better himself and take advantage of the American way of life. Rather, he sees himself as part of the advance guard to spread Islam to America." On a television news program yesterday, Muslims in the Minneapolis area (mostly Somalis) were stopped and asked if they liked the US or would prefer to live in a Muslim country. Every single one said they would prefer to live in a Muslim country.
The Bloomberg article ended with this message of compromise: "On the other hand, consider the costs of denying entry to any more Syrian refugees. It would feed Islamic State's narrative that the US is anti-Muslim, and weaken America's global leadership."
In other words, we must just lie down and play dead. Let the invasion continue!
There are enough racial problems at home, without inviting more into the country. A few nights of rioting in Charlotte, North Carolina, started with the death of another African-American male at the hands of the police. Hardly mentioned by the liberal US media was the fact that the shooter was a black police office. The BBC, to its shame, did not mention it, for over 24 hours.
High rates of unemployment amongst African-Americans deserve a mention in the context of the ratcheted up rate of immigration by refugees – the Syrians will be helped to find jobs by government agencies, at the expense of mostly black Americans and Hispanics. Clearly, Democrats feel secure with their non-white base, even as they make life harder for them!
President Obama has also shown his "racist" side by badgering blacks to vote for Hillary, claiming he will feel personally insulted if they vote for Trump. This reminds me of one of the he worst aspects of African politics, when a tribal chief tells everybody in the tribe who to vote for – it makes democracy impossible.
The race to end white America, traditional America, is speeding up. Soon whites will be a minority, which is what Senator Edward Kennedy had in mind back in 1965 when he sponsored a new Immigration bill. At the time he promised that it would not change the demographics in the country.
Today, Friday, it has been revealed that the Obama Administration has instructed the FBI to rush through approval for citizenship for those entering the country from sensitive (i.e. Middle Eastern) areas. This will give the Democrats more votes and is a clear sign that politics comes before what's best for the country. A further 110,000 refugees from the Middle east will start arriving October 1st. Already 85,000 have arrived this fiscal year (USA Today 9/15).
Perhaps Mr. Obama is feeling guilty. Having badly let down Syria, he now wants to give a home to many Syrians as possible, even though some are likely to be terrorists. ISIS has said more than once that it is sending its soldiers to Europe and America alongside the refugees.
There is clearly no true security in this world when our leaders make some irrational decisions.
It's not surprising that I've received an invitation from the local police to attend a "Safety and Security" seminar for area churches. With an influx of people from the Middle East where attacks on churches have been routine, plus the additional factor of homegrown terrorists, churches need to boost security.
Christians should not lose heart faced with these growing threats. Rather, we should be encouraged by the words of the Apostle Paul:
"and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Phil 4:7).

R. Clarke wrote:3. Now let us consider ...a figurative use of âson of Godâ as found in Luke 3:38. This verse is the conclusion of a long list of names tracing the history of Christ's ancestry. The last person, Adam, is âthe son of God.â In what sense is he God's son? The simplest...way of explaining this expression is that Adam is like God because he was made in God's image. Some Muslims reject this implication not wanting to endorse the Jewish Tanakh and Christian Bible....a team of six international Islamic scholars have plainly admitted this fact in their recent publication, The Study Qur'an. A footnote to Surah 95:4 quotes the phrase in Surah 64:3, âhuman beings are the best of God's creationâ and also references a famous hadith qudsi which echoes Genesis 1:27, âTruly God created Adam in His image.â Remarkably, the footnote actually references Genesis 1:27 and then continues, âThis hadith is understood to mean that human beings are created with such attributes as life, knowledge, power, will, speech, hearing and sight (the qualities most often used in Islamic theology) to describe God which are, in fact, Divine attributes.â
