I wasn't meaning to insult the cultural amenities we have. I was more trying to insult the concept of spending so much on a cop shop.
We have theatres and arts organizations doing a lot, and this should be celebrated.
I think we lack a strong outdoor venue. I loved seeing Shakespear on the commons and dig it in the Gothic Arches too, but it would be great if we had a nice outdoor stage at Rockwood and if the one proposed for Rainbow Park gets installed.
We have a lot of heritage buildings, but little access to our heritage. The museum is great, and so is the Barbour's Store, but I think a public space that celebrates the Trinity Royal area is a good idea. The panels on the great fire and some buildings should be expanded upon in some way.
We should also try to pull a celtic tiger and have some sort of housing program that encourages artists and creative minds to locate in the city.
