Chuck Brown: Visionary
This just in from Bisnow on Business: Chuck Brown is a Visionary.
On May 6, Group Goetz Architects is hosting a “Visions of Washington” event at the House of Sweden to honor “Visionaries [That's With a Capital V, Dammit] who’ve given Washington the spirit, vibrancy, and diversity that make it one of the most exciting cities in the world.”
Your “Visionaries of the Year” are the Lerner Family for “applying their energy, money, and name to bringing DC literally into the Major Leagues.” (I guess that makes the District’s taxpaying public visionaries in their own special way.)
Then you’ve got your usual developers and lawyers: Doug Jemal, Forest City’s Deborah Ratner Salzberg, Arent Fox’s Joe Fries, Arnold & Porter’s Steve Porter, the Carlyle Group’s Hayden Jones, among others.
And…the godfather of go-go. Hell yeah.

Woah, woah, woah. The LERNERS are Visionaries!? They had no part in bringing the Nationals to DC. They didn’t even own them for the first season! The stadium was paid for, designed, and built by other people. All they did was continue to put an awful team out on the field. Visionary!
And I certainly hope they’re not being called visionaries (sorry, Visionaries) for their non-baseball business. Building soulless suburban malls is not Visionary, or even just plain visionary. It’s landscape destroying greed.
