Come on Down!!!

You've only got three hours to get into the BIG SHOW down at the Lawndale on Main!!!

Did you hear about the Discovery Green project? This thing makes it look like it would be alright to live in downtown. That big hole next to the George R. Brown Convention Center isn't going to be a high rise or a parking garage, they're pulling out the big guns for a park. Bill White has plugged away at getting it done, investing big bucks where he usually skimps, like in all other city functions.

Also, ten or twenty years after all the hype, Houston will have a concrete skatepark for once. The site will include rails and half-pipes and is scheduled to open next summer near the Sabine Street Bridge west of downtown.
