Don’t cover the Pavilion

Thu., May 25, 2017

Why couldn’t the U.S. Expo Pavilion be left as it appears in May 1 paper? Refurbish what needs to be done to extend its life. Covering it with blue tarps would be disastrous, making it appear as a circus tent or “in storage.” How long would the tarps last anyways under out hot, cold and windy conditions? To me the Pavilion is the iconic landmark of our past Expo and now centerpiece of our beautiful downtown park.
