Hooray for these young people to see what it is that most of us see.

Strolling the downtown strip in the morning can sure take your appetite away. The stench of urine, cigarette butts and filthy sidewalks sure make you think again before going into a coffee shop for breakfast.

Only this past weekend, I mentioned to a fellow merchant how the downtown should relocate the bars to the outer edges of the main core and, yes, with them should go the tattoo shops and bongs shops

Again I say hooray to these young people who want our community to feel safe. Yes, downtown should be a vibrant place for business and tourist and family outings.
