Andy's Angles: A Good Thing

 

This space was recently dedicated to disappointment over the borough of Olyphant tearing down an historic old fire house in favor of a few more parking spaces.

The fire house is long gone.  I'm still sad that even though it lost its value as a fire house, it couldn't be repurposed.


Reason has prevailed in the Queen City.  All of the old fire house space won't be used for parking.  Part will be dedicated to a park, home to the long awated Freedom Fighter statue.  A major plus is the small park will be within walking distance of plenty of homes and apartments.  I am concerned visitors and people passing through might have problems finding it.  It's on a side street and tucked between a few buildings.  However, it's nothing a few signs can't cure.
