Back in the good ole days
Even though old, at least the building had some sort of class
It doesn't matter how or why they changed the name of our building, it will always be the Shuffleboard Court Building to most all of us who have lived here for decades.
Several months ago, the city paid the graffiti? artists? to paint the building, the walls and posts. It looks like a carnival about to happen in real time. Now some of the "art" has graffiti on the graffiti and that on the north wall is dripping and fading bringing a blighted look to our city asset. Is this part of the design? Whoever approved of this? We don't get answers from city hall or this commission. No one takes responsibility for this abomination. Why not? All they do is allow people to do what they want with our city owned property and give it all away for a buck a year. Next it will be the beach park.

They have given everything away. Soon our sovereignty. Police, fire, every building we own. Pathetic. It's no wonder they can't fill in a pothole.
I hope that the CRA is forced to pay for the clean up. What an eye sore ! Hey Saint Joan, what did your 23 MILLION dollars do for the city? Did most of it go into old friends of yours pockets? The city looks just as crappy as ever. Way to make 23 million disappear without a ripple.
The CRA and city are all about a money grab to give millions to developers to then get kickbacks for campaigns and favors, it is all a vicious cycle. so sad what is happening, we never see any results and the blight and crime just keep escalating.
Lynn, you did not show the signed graffiti on the northeast corner where some other graffitier signed it "feras," or something like that, and that feras is showing up all over this city, it is on a lot of stuff in this city. What are the police and PBSO doing about all this graffiti again, it is popping up all over. There is just too much blight and crime in this dumpy city.
64 million or 10 billion what ever they try to get, we will never see any results with any amount, that money will all go to developers and campaigns and not show any improvements in this city. Where the hell is Code Enforcement?
Winston and Kelling; broken window theory.
Prior to the development and implementation of various incivility theories such as broken windows, law enforcement scholars and police tended to focus on serious crime; that is, the major concern was with crimes that were perceived to be the most serious and consequential for the victim, such as rape, robbery, and murder. Wilson and Kelling took a different view. They saw serious crime as the final result of a lengthier chain of events, theorizing that crime emanated from disorder and that if disorder were eliminated, then serious crimes would not occur.
Their theory further posits that the prevalence of disorder creates fear in the minds of citizens who are convinced that the area is unsafe. This withdrawal from the community weakens social controls that previously kept criminals in check. Once this process begins, it feeds itself. Disorder causes crime, and crime causes further disorder and crime.
