Fun on the Square

In the Fall of 2013 our city debuted a beautiful multi functional square right in the very center of our downtown business district. They had to close a section of main street in order to build it, but in five short years it has become a huge success and has brought family and tourists alike back to our downtown that was fast becoming, like a lot of other cities, a ghost town after 5pm.

 This Internet photo will give you an idea of the scope of the project. It is an area where you feel safe day or night due to the apparent presence of a private security force. There is also free parking after business hours in close by garages, and free valet parking at the nearby restaurants.

 Since the weather was so pretty on Friday night, Tom ask if I wanted to eat at one of the terrace restaurants on the square for dinner. Upon arrival, were surprised to see a band setting up  and decided to stick around and have a listen.

Quite a sizable crowd had gathered

and a few folks got up to dance. As the evening progressed more and more folks hit the dance floor, especially when they started playing rock n roll!

For something unplanned...we sure had a great time!
