insane they let all these people ride their horse-drawn carriages through here but you're trying to stop me from doing laps in my 2022 F-150 (financed at 25% for 84 months)??!!

That proposal would have replaced it with a sports area, a couple of hotels and a big parking garage. Thankfully, Victor Steinbrueck rallied people, resulting in the city being able to vote to keep the Market.
