As it is, people don't go down town. What do they think will come out of that building? Fine arts? Look at what has happened with the high quality Fine Arts building at the college. How many time is it used for fine arts presentations. Pave the streets, clean the neighborhoods, get rid of the panhandlers breaking an ordinance (one which no one enforces). You pave Central Blvd which is in the middle of no-where but the sreets and sidewalks around schools are deplorable. Look at Tangelo and Roosevelt for one. But since it is for the poor barrio kids and parents from Faulk, who cares?

Old means the Texas Historical Commission gets involved and doesn't just let you do what you want with the building. That's what drives up costs. More change orders to come. I guarantee it. The sad part is that this performing arts academy model will never work without massive continuous subsidies which the City has already told that dumbass Georgre Ramirez he's not getting. <br /><br />Montoya, look into the Southmost Hike and Bike trail.
