"You’ll find a giant double semi truck sculpture in the courtyard called Big Rig Jig. I just love that this art installation was made for Burning Man and now I can see it from the front windows of my downtown apartment building, combining 3 of my favorite things: art, real estate, and adventure."
Dwight Calwhite
"Gender friendly and accepting to all! Great vibes and just a peaceful atmosphere during the daytime. Downtown used to be a sketchy place at night but with places like this, it's guiding our city to a better place. Cute shops and great selections!"
Jennifer F
"It's very rare for me too give a very low rating, however. I was recently approached by an employee after spending 💰 and a few hours at the park here only to be asked to leave as we where lounging. My question is, why is lounging inappropriate when they have couches"
