STREET TALK

We asked shoppers and business workers at Triangle Square:

Should City Hall move to 19th Street and Newport Boulevard?

1. “I think it would be fun. It would be great. They would have a lot

of fun in that office area over there. But it would definitely create

more traffic for the surrounding area.”

2. “I would love it. That way we would know where City Hall is. In a

common place nearby. Right now isn’t it on Fair Drive? That’s a strange

place. I don’t think too many people know where that is.”

3. “Where are they going to park everyone? You only have so much

parking available there. You already have a spot for City Hall. If it

ain’t broke, don’t fix it.’

RON YARBROUGH

4. “It’s a beautiful building. I think that would be great for the

building. As a matter of fact, I was just thinking how sad it would be if

somebody bought it and tore it down. It does so much for that corner.”

ROBERT ALEXANDROS

5. “I have worked here at Triangle Square for over a year now and I

have watched that building sit vacant. I think it would be a good thing.

It would help draw more attention to this area and that’s a good thing.”
