> “Would I like a beer garden in the front of my house? You damn straight I would. I would love to move to an urban environment and have something like that, where I could walk to the grocery store or I could walk to the coffee shop. ..So the answer is yes.”

**— BREC chairman Mike Polito**, answering a critic of master plans that include a beer garden and amphitheater at City Park. The proposal would place a beer garden and boat-rental spot beside the lake, while rerouting the road through the park so that people, rather than traffic, reach the shoreline. The beer garden would be a short walk for many area residents.
