I see I was not the only one listening to the Mayor on sports radio this morning. I think he made a lot of good points and I appreciate you bringing this up and sharing the ones you did.
Among other things I liked hearing:
- I knew about the plans for the park in front of the Embassy Suites and Union Station, but this morning was the first time I heard it was going to be a Memorial Park and the police memorial was going to be relocated. I think that is great and the new green space will fit in well there.
- Something does need to be done about Crampton Bowl. The Mayor mentioned a partnership type arrangement between the city, county, and schools/colleges that use the facility, would be required to get it renovated and up-to-date. I had no idea that the city shoulders the financial burden alone. None of the colleges that play there pay anything towards upkeep, etc. That seems surprising to me, but the Mayor should know what he is talking about... right?
- I too will welcome the day when the riverwalk is complete and it is possible to walk all the way from downtown out to Maxwell AFB. As things along Bell Street are cleaned up, this should offer additional developemnt potential.
Glad I turned XM off on the drive in to work this morning to hear the last few minutes of the interview. And to think I was just tuning in to grab the final score from last night's All Star game. I crashed before the game was over and the
Montgomery Advertiser obviously faced their deadline before the game wrapped too.
