a community garden in this day and age is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI love the garden idea as well. It's hands on learning for the kids and promotes responsibility and respect as well.

Could we please get some more information on this "dance hall"? The last few businesses suggested for this area were questionable in nature. The youth club that was set up in this area just a few years ago led to several problems. What kind of "dance hall" are we talking about here?
