it is true that it is not what it used to be, but we should not discredit this once vibrant fare that the entire country would find a way to attend even if it was just for a moment. if a year had ended without a glance on square, it would have been a disappointment for that person or that family because it was really something to wait for. today we have all the goodies at the supermarkets for the taking (if we have the money)and a block-o or a day even in every district every month, like Marchand Day and Babonneau Day and smart phones, lap tops, i pad etc. the world is now at our finger tips. so it’s not the same and i would agree with the writer, they should put it to rest with dignity. i…

It would serve as a place for festivals, outdoor concerts, Square etc. In planning the location, security, safety and sustainability (profitability) features would have been included. There needs to be some intervention that ensures esthetics and a pleasurable day for kids. Psst! Are we growing the next generation of “Massave” trees yet? Heck! the present one is not going to live forever.”

What a hearty laugh when I saw the new Toes! He is now customer-centered and willing to reach out. I remember years ago when I was kid, his attitude was so different. The fear of being cornered by him and his crew was the overriding factor for kids each day of square. I for one stayed at least 2 blocks away while reveling in the echoes… and I was still frightened. The new Toes “with lemon oil” says it all. Some nights, when you are trying to decompress from work, photos like this one can really change your mood for the better. Thanks for the photo.
