Matthew Yglesias, one of the more prominent political bloggers on the liberal side of the spectrum, links to Wednesday's story in the Business section of The Commercial Appeal about plans by the Center City Commission to divert money from parking garages to sprucing up sidewalks and street fixtures Downtown.
