Today I have blisters from the bites. I hope there was enough said about them that park and rec will treat for the ants immediately and not let citizens suffer in one of the few parks we have. I am sure they were unaware of the problem but lets hope its not a continuing problem. BIG THANK YOU to the City for pulling off fireworks. They were wonderful and appreciated. <BR/> <BR/>Do we know what organization that it was that was mistakenly allowed to rent the facilities yesterday evening? Also, the building has exterior facilities also and the police were directing traffic on that side of the building so why weren't those facilities open? I was told they were unlocked upon request late in the evening after the fiasco with the PIC. I believe Andrew Bennett is the park and rec director. Was he not on site last night to see that this event was managed correctly with regards to his facilities? I suppose not. <BR/> <BR/>Its my opinion, and since this is an opinions blog, that one of our cities biggest downfalls is the lack of parks and rec programs. It was painfully brought back to my attention last night at fireworks and the conditions of Roosevelt Park. Pipe Shop community got a new park this year and that is something that we should demand yearly that the city revamp old parks and create new parks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
