With the tremendous number of people coming to cram into a small place to visit the cherry blossoms, it seems obvious that we could have more cherry trees or create more natural inviting spaces like this on the waterfront. Or demolish the I-5 on the east bank to truly activate the riverfront space.
Regarding “Ride to Tesla Takedown – 9:00 am at Floyds Coffeehouse (NW)’ — Floyds is at Ladd Circle, in SE not NW. The ride is from Ladd’s Addition to the South Waterfront.
yes of course. Thanks. Fixed it.
