Riverfront

When I watched the blue and yellow tents go up in between the Freedom Center and Great American Ballpark for Cirque du Soleil, it got me thinking: why don't we scrap the whole "Banks" idea and just have a carnival in that space during the summer? This would also buy more time for the politicians and developers to decide what they really want to do with this space. Right now, it seems like it's destined to be a parking lot. And that really is a shame. Personally, I think they’re afraid to put anything there because they're afraid that if they put together something temporary, it will probably become permanent. And they've got a huge hole west of Fountain Square that serves as a testament to that sort of thinking.
