I am generally concerned when I see an editorial like this, because it usually means we should all be holding onto our wallets (since doing something with Hemming Plaza was mentioned in the paper a week or 2 ago and this is the second mention).  Hemming Plaza is really a very pretty little park with a beautiful water feature and multiple levels.  Personally, unlike what Lee is saying, I have never had a problem going into the park or crossing through it, so opinions please?

 

If you would like to avoid cussing, fighting and gambling, then be careful when approaching City Hall.

Hemming Plaza, right across the street, is a center of this activity, said City Council member Denise Lee.

“This thing is festering and it has been going on for such a long time. I know that I’m disgusted,” she said during a meeting at City Hall.

She recently led a meeting by a special council committee looking into cleaning up what ought to be a landmark in Jacksonville.

Instead, Hemming Plaza has become an eyesore that can’t be ignored.

Lee spared no words. She said fearful visitors avoid walking through the park.

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
