About 100 people showed up at St. Alban’s Episcopal Church Thursday night for a pre-election discussion that wound up being a sort of pep rally for the past three decades of town planning and decision-making that organizers said have created the town as we know it, made Davidson a destination for newcomers, and kept up property values. The 90-minute meeting was organized by Positively Davidson, a citizen group whose members said they’re concerned about negativity in this year’s campaign.
