it's the incredible shrinking park. Somehow I don't think all of those "improvements" will allow for a MUSEP sized audience. It's amazing how they have turned a wonderful, wildly successful, and not to mention low maintenance community gathering spot on the grass in the middle of the city and turned it into a concrete, stone, shrubs, oh yes, let's not forget the majorwater element (fountain
that I seriously doubt they will let you wade in)
that practically guarantees high maintenance costs
and then throw in a SMALL amphitheater that mimics
the unsuccessful one already across the street. It
will no doubt get used and it will no doubt look
good but it sure is a shame to lose such a
wonderful downtown open space.
