Since January, there has been much discussion about Main Street and Midland Square. Many folks have expressed their opinions on both sides of the issue. We have discussed the pros and cons of revitalizing the Square and Main Street at our City Council meetings and in town halls, listening and gaining citizens’ input on how we can revitalize our downtown. At one town hall, the question was asked: what needed to be done to revitalize downtown? Nearly everyone agreed we must do something. Suggestions included adding more vibrancy, amenities, infrastructure improvements like lighting and more greenery, more downtown events, public restrooms, marketing, parking issues, addressing vacancies, and improving façades as critical areas the city should focus on. These changes and improvements were almost identical to a 2017 survey asking people what they would like to change about Main Street.

DRIVING MISS DAISY at Lyric Rep is worth the drive
LOGAN — The Black Box Theater on the Utah State University campus is an intimate space with room for a few dozen audience members lucky enough to squeeze in alongside the actors viewing Driving Miss Daisy, a gem of a production. Playwright Alfred Urhy sets the play in Atlanta from the late 1940s to the early 1970s. Miss Daisy Werthen (Leslie Brott) is an elderly Jewish Southern woman requiring a chauffeur. Hoke Coleburn (Herb Newsome), an older African American man, is hired and a personal friendship grows even as society deals with prejudice. Driving Miss Daisy won the 1988 Pulitzer Prize and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway play. Some patrons will recognize the title from the 1989 film adaptation starring Jessica Tandy and Morgan Freeman, and winner of several Academy Awards- Best Picture, Best Actress (Tandy), Best Makeup, and Best Adapted Screenplay. With such a brilliant pedigree, it might be understandably daunting to produce, but the cast and production team at the Lyric Rep have risen to the occasion and more.
