At the same time, this is a center everyone can be proud of. I would've liked to see it as part of the cultural environment of downtown. It's a lifelong dream of many local Latino artists for a place of their own, to offer their artistic expressions to the community. A diversity of Latino performing-arts groups were upset with the name Mexican Heritage Plaza. I advocate the plaza be an alcohol-free zone.
Great stuff goes on in the East Side, but most people think of it in a negative way.
So the plaza is going to have a positive effect. I hope it's successful. I hope it's not defaced with graffiti.
