I have to write in response to the letter "When is a park not a park" by Don Ball (Trail Times, July 23) .
In my opinion the position in question here was a very ugly location and now with minimum effort and funds is a very nice spot to sit and contemplate. Along with all the other floral arrangements that are in this city, it makes it such a great pleasure and pride to live here.
Plants and flowers have such a wonderful calming effect and why should we not want to make this great city look so beautiful and hopefully attract tourists, who in turn spend money that helps us all.
All the grumps should quit whining and move somewhere where there is no color and no life.
Just my opinion.
