I remember when all those pocket parks were built. The City had high hopes for the new greenery andRead More places for the kids to play. Now I hear from City Council that the parks are being abused by the taggers and gangs. Our Police Chief Randy Davis says he will continue to monitor the situation until it is safe once again.

Yes our park is being abused by taggers and gangs. They are ruining everything, just the other day IRead More was riding my bike and I seen a meth pipe on the grass. I pick it up and threw it away.

The Parks dept helps the VFW, but it's the VFW who set the agenda and gets the speakers. From theRead More last time I was at the meetings( Park and REc) it was Nick Godoy who is in charge
Virginia Johnson May 29, 2013 at 09:29 am
Thanks for the information Cynthia and Allen. Nick Godoy talks at Council all the time about theRead More Memorial and Veteran's events including the Banners along Tweedy Blvd. I would guess Paul Adams would direct our questions to him.

Thanks, 'Ginni. Your answer poses many questions...

One of the critics say the movie is set to modern music. I will not watch if this is true. TheRead More 1920's music is 1/2 of what made the Gatsby's memorable. Modern music will take away from the story of Scott Fitgerald's generation.
