Now the Riverfront Times is reporting on Schmid's preference for buildings to remain quiet and vacant than loud and renovated. From Mike Seely's story:
When asked if he'd prefer to see the building at 3756 South Broadway remain vacant rather than welcome an establishment such as Reynolds', Schmid answers in the affirmative.
"In particular locations, absolutely," the alderman says. "What happens is that your good residents go somewhere else, and you can't attract people to take their places. We're planning some new homes right to the north of [Crimmins' property], and we can't have that next door. Quite frankly, we want to have our cake and eat it too."

Apparently, Bosley and other northside aldermen agree with Schmid. So then, Schmid's vision is hardly racist or backwater, as implied by "Mayberry."

Mayberry is the opposite of a metropolis. Mayberry is a place that is not hip, exciting, or attractive to young people.
Nothing racial is implied.
Besides their feelings on loud music and bars, Aldermen Schmid and Bosley also have in common the fact that their wards are not desirable places to live for young professionals.
