Senior Center

We're happy to see Mary Eaton back at the blogging table. Regarding her last post, I've been having similar thoughts for some time, perhaps we can just find some temporary spot for a senior center.

A while back I came up with an idea that I'm sure everyone will hate. But here goes....

Put a temporary senior center in the former future site of Chico's.

I know. It's prime retail site, but it's empty. And, unless there negotiations quietly afoot, the prime Water Street site will be empty for the summer and possibly longer if major retail business continue to suffer.

And, well, the emptiness is kind of depressing.

So let's a bring a little life downtown while we give the seniors some place to be right now. They can park in the NRA's East Lot during the weekend when traffic is thin. (It's suggested that no one uses the lot anyway.)

As for the price, well, perhaps Mr. Karp and the NED posse might be willing to offer up the space temporarily for the low, low price of....on the house.

I told you you'd hate it. But hey, it's Friday.
