Good for the city but what is wrong that they can't finish Pryor Street park. We were told several years ago city bought old Con Agra property to build a park. All they did was tear down building and clear the land. Then they bought old Ro's restaurant property going to remodel that. Ended up finding asbestos in the build and had to tear that down. That shouldn't have been a surprise considering when it was originally built. How about building something taxpayers can enjoy.
