Truman Waterfront Park is amazing. It is one of the very few venues in our city where working people, young working adults, and families can enjoy things like open spaces and water views. Fifty or so weeks of the year, it is, in fact, one of the most egalitarian and economically integrated places in this land of sky-high rent, tight quarters and long hours working multiple jobs.

Which makes one wonder why the city seems to care so little about it.
