Scoopn' Loop 2010 Canceled
#21
Why could there be a "Waukegan Days" type affair? A small carnival ride setup in one of abandonded lots, an area for local vendors and restaurants to sell their goods, another area for car and motorcycle exhibits, an area for local bands to perform... Oh, but wait, I'm sobering up and realizing something... People don't go downtown for much of anything except for work or court (9a-4p, M-F), very few businesses exsist in the "city" anymore except a couple of second hand stores and fast food joints (OK, maybe a couple of bars/taverns), and no one wants to believe that sometimes you need to spend a buck to make a buck or that sacrifices sometimes need to be made that will help in the long run.
We need help in this area. I live just outside of the downtown area and things are slipping away quickly (as they are in the entire city in appears). On a regular basis, I have to go out of the city to find entertainment/dining. How much worse do things need to get before they get better? I want to support local business, I want to be proud to live here and invite others to visit but what do we have left to promote? I don't have the answers but I think we need to open our eyes, pick ourselves up and get moving forward... or continue to wait for something good to happen as the rest of the world passes us by....
