Early discussion of a possible downtown entertainment district that would allow patrons to stroll from business to business while consuming beer or wine is on the Abilene City Council s agenda Thursday.
The area would include the city s cultural district downtown and the nearby South of Downtown Abilene District (SoDA), said City Manager Robert Hanna Monday.
Also under consideration is a one-time credit for water customers, rezoning property near Hardin-Simmons University for a proposed Braum s, roadway upgrades around the Five Points Business Park and more.
Cities such as Fredericksburg and Denison have created entertainment district successfully, Hanna said.
The district would basically serve as a defined space in which an individual would be able to go from a brewery or brewpub to a clothes shop or from a wine shop to a retail center, while carrying and drinking an alcoholic beverage on the public sidewalk.
here are not commenting publically on the incendiary statements that came from the u.s. president donald trump. of course, the united states and south korea are longstanding allies. south korea depends on the us for its defense. but the president did today repeat the platform that he has recently taken up. he is talking a lot more about what south korea needs to do to improve its ability to defend itself. here is what he said. i believe our given task is reform of the military. we need a complete overhaul instead of defense reform at a level of minor improvement or modifications. he made those remarks during a military ceremony. that s a reflection of a platform he has taken up. it was the subject of a conversation he had over the phone with donald trump this weekend, talking about the need for south korea to be able to expand its ability to defend itself and to help defend the region as north korea presents a mounting security threat.
