My beloved downtown

clickasm.

I was headed back to the store (www.mooncolonyrazorblade.com) from riverside. Blanca was driving and we were going maybe 2 or 3 miles over the speed limit. Some cop, on foot, jumps out in front of us and points like uncle sam, another fat female cop starts screaming like we are stealing her fat child "SLOW DOWN ... SLLLLOOOOWWWWWW DDDOOWWWNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". Really come on now, is that what we spend our tax dollars on? If they were really trying to stop speeders wouldn't it be more effective to be in a car?

Thats not what I was wanting to write about, this is symbolic to me about the problems with this city. The future of our beloved Jacksonville is obviously in downtown, as it should be. Is there a way to redirect our resources? The generation that everyone has written off in jax because we are "lazy" is now taking control. Can we fix the parking problem dowtown? If we fix the problem dowtown will more people and buisinesses come? If there are parking meters in downtown why are they not in san marco and riverside? thats a way to level the playing field, right? won't that give people more incentive to move their places downtown? Whats with all these committees that resolve absolutely nothing? If we go to these community meetings will it help, or will it be a waste of time? Is there anyone out there who can represent us better than the people representing us now?

These are questions that I do not know the answer to, I hope that I will soon.
