And we can't get a train? Screw this garbage. Can we just start using this area and build up the area surrounding the Center first? Then we can improve the center. Right now it's an intentional destination as opposed to a more accidental destination. What I mean by that is people come from all around to the Center for festivals, the opera or ballet. Folks walk through it to get from Belltown to Queen Anne- but it's never really visited just to visit. Yes, that happens but not enough to warrant its size. And no- improving the Center to be its own destination as opposed to occasional venue isn't going to work. We need to develop the areas around the Center because- let's face it- people are lazy. They won't travel far to get somewhere. Think more Central Park and less Six Flags.</p>
