Around the Town: Downtown looking good
By Loretta Humble/Around the Town
With this gorgeous, cool weather, I decided to enjoy my breakfast one morning downtown in the pocket park. In case you are wondering what the pocket park is, it’s the empty lot between Tanner’s building on the corner of E Mitcham and S Terry and the empty green building on S Terry. The park is shaping up little by little these days. It’s been disheartening in the past to see beer cans, cigarette butts and trash blowing around town but we are working hard to improve that and things are really looking up. Local artist Haley Bonner will be designing a mural for the park soon which will really add color and bring the park to life. We look forward to more people enjoying that area!
