Letter: City shows deterioration

Letter: City shows deterioration

Editor: I am very disappointed about the state of our downtown area. Upon visiting St. George Street and the Plaza de la Constitucion; my husband and I could not believe how filthy everything was.

St. George Street itself was littered with trash and cigarette butts everywhere.

Our daughter needed to use the public rest room beside the Toques Place parking lot. It was so disgusting and appeared to have never been cleaned, not to mention the foul smell. The mirrors were so dirty you could not see your reflection.

How can we expect locals to shop locally when it is not only a nightmare to park, but filthy as well?

This town has been home for my family for more than 65 years. I never thought it would ever be anything but beautiful. It is very sad to see the deterioration. Who is being held accountable for the integrity of this town; and where does all this money go from the outrageous parking fees? The future of our quaint village is not looking so beautiful.
