Inappropriation of $

Photobucket
Usually this is the pavilion where Niki and I practice our katas with Dr. G once a week. Sometimes there are skaters. Other times, groups of men after work eating crawfish and drinking beer.
Always there are brides to be having their photos done.
I secretly keep looking in the paper, waiting for the day when I will see us in the background of a photo in the Nuptials Section. Who wouldn't want a Ninja in their photo?
As if the wedding photo shoots weren't enough,
they are commercializing our Ninja area.
Which really bewilders me because the area is in such better shape than other areas. And it is already utilized by many people.
So, I am confused.

"Great Lawn" project in City Park

Why can't they appropriate some funds to clean up Pontchartrain Beach? Or other areas in dire need of some grant money.
A few dollars for some trash cans at least.
It's summer it is hot. We don't have a 5 star beach but we have an area on water, cooler than the city, on the edge of the city, that looks like the dump most of the time. I guess it is too much to have trash pick-up stop there on it's way to or from UNO and so therefor there is no point in putting trash cans out there. Logical that they would use the "pick-up" dilema as the reason for not having receptacles for trash placement. And there are those of us willing to take our trash with us. But we don't count.
Whoa rant! I really wish I could have access to a close body of water with a CLEAN beach.
Why can't the funds go to anything other than a place already well taken care of and used by the public?
