| - Definitely contested territory but I love that different parties are working to make this a space that helps make space for - and ideally even connections between - the homeless and addict populations that gather here, local organizations, businesses, students, tourists, and seasonal Pride and Festival partiers. It's not perfect, but there is beautiful public art, mobile soup kitchen, giant chess, some greenery.
Last night for the Drag Stars show the stage and sound were great, but I don't get why they needed to fence us in, doesn't seem to be necessary at the outdoor stages during Jazz Fest - maybe it's just that the areas where you can buy and carry beers are so much bigger then? Anyway, it was way too crowded last night, it was fun but kind of scary and I left before I wanted to. I'd like to see the city do a better job with opening up this park out onto St Catherines and maybe the streets around during big events so there is better flow.
