Grumble Regarding some of the posts on September 13, Grumble Grumble Grumble: The people that complain the loudest about the Caruso project will probably be among the first to do business there. I doubt that there will be any music playing but it would be a nice touch (would probably get the contribu- tor out of his funk).

The family is pictured here with their copy of the Post in the three-level parking structure front of the Golden Temple. should solve most of the parking problem, I believe that the traffic problem may be horrendous. If that part of the Palisades Village (I think that is the name and not Palisades Carusoville) were to be one way and Monument (on the backside of the village) were to be one way in the other direction, this may help the flow of traffic some- what. So, lighten up people and re- member what a piece of trash our downtown area was before Caruso got involved. I would have liked the finished product to duplicate a small England Village, but eco- nomics probably drove the final plan.
