Both received significant media, government and public attention — the August Wilson Center locally, the financial collapse globally. Both were the subject of high-profile commentary by elected officials, civic leaders and a range of community advocates, most of whom were playing exactly the role they were supposed to play, advocating for the people and interests they represent.
