Excellent editorial concerning Festival Park. We all need to watch for those who don’t care as others do. As I walked my dog on the waterfront, I saw two guys walking on the railings at the big pavilion. They will bend. They’re not for gymnastics. So, I walked over and I told them that needed to get off, that they would bend, and we would have to replace them. Yes, I did get an ugly look, but they got off. I had done my part. We all need to do that.

I think it is a shame that parents let their children play games on their cellphones during church services.
