Buried in this piece is the following: "Beutler said there soon will be an announcement about a parking garage to be built in the very south end of the Haymarket area."
That doesn't sound like much, but could Beutler be referring to the answer to the question of whether to build a new parking garage where Barry's currently sits or at 7th and O? I don't know if I would call 7th and O "the very south end of the Haymarket", but it's down there. You might recall that the question of where to place the garage has been controversial thanks to Jon Camp's stake in the matter.
The bad part about a 7th and O garage is how much parking would be lost during the construction process. Ahh the price of progress.

See what your friends and neighbors have to say about this.
I honestly could care less about the arena or it’s parking garage. The part in this article that concerns me is that there is a question on IF Before- and after-school programs should continue.
I live in one of the areas that does have these programs. I have even had the honor of teaching one of the programs. There shouldn’t be a question of if they should be continued. The only question should be “how can we fund it”.
I hope that these programs do not fall into the “Well because we don’t use one of those 5 sites, they really are not relevant to me and because of that, we shouldn’t fund them” category. Get to know about the programs and who they serve before making that decision. They are phenomenal programs.
I know that having taught one of the clubs in the after school program (photography) that there is nothing like seeing the potential in a child and helping them foster it and knowing that without that club, it most likely would have never of happened due to economical, financial or home life reasons.
