Broken slate outside a building
We need to do something about people destroying property while
skateboarding. Everywhere downtown I see damaged property
by skateboarders. Maybe the solution would be to build a
skateboard park in the downtown area. Something like what they
have right now in back of the boys club in the second ward.
It could be around the library were there is still some open space.
It can be a combination of ramps, walls (like the one above) and even
some trees and a few picnic tables. Why not, maybe also a basketball
hoop. We want people to come live downtown but all we are thinking
about is having more restaurants and cafes. Where are people going
to play, sit under a tree and read a book, walk their dog, have a picnic
and cook a burguer if they wish.
Are kids going to play in the streets and sidwalks? We need recreational
areas to be within walking distance in order for people downtown to
use them.
A small movie house that plays foreign films and documentaries and
a spacious but smaller than the bookstore in Marfa would be nice!
