oh and they are also building a park at the corner of MLK and Broad(or atleast i think its Broad) but somewhere close, Mobile Gas owns the property
it seems the cost spent on all these micro parks they could build an Aquarium
or something, now we have a larger ship maybe bringing in thousands more people to Mobile, so we need something for them to do,,,someone said a zoo or Aquarium would be more for the locals because all big cities have one or the other or both, so its nothing new, and thats true its not new or original, but it adds to the quality of life its very educational, its fun, and when those thousands of extra people are here yes it does give them something extra to do, just like the Carriage Rides, and just like the Movies in the Park would
also we need to build and renovate all over DT it seems everyone stays focused on Dauphin St. and Royal and then they throw a little something else here and there
some of those streets DT are ugly with metal building and little short box buildings, i wish they would focus on doing something about that,
i would like to see a retail street, with mostly shopping and a few restuarants, maybe another coffee shop
