It's a shame that in the "Hemming Plaza Now" pictures, the only reason it seems alive there is because of that Thursday "Make a Scene Downtown" thing. Now that that event has moved to a different location, I'm sure it'll go back to being overrun with the homeless and the once a month traffic from Art Walk. It's depressing that the city doesn't actively use Hemming Plaza more.

Every Friday afternoon there are vendors selling food, a farmers market, and sometimes music...

In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

There used to be a booth on one corner where you went to purchase bus tokens. They were metal, about the size of a quarter. Then they went to thick paper, sold in long strings. As children, we rode the city bus to and from school, Englewood Elementary, each day. It was a monthly trip that we took downtown to purchase the tokens.
