Council To Consider Hushed Gardens Offer:

I had a close friend tell me that the "buyer" wants to turn it back into a garden park and get rid of most of the major attractions. What that meant, I do not know. Most of the rides are a really good fit for the park, I can only see a couple that I would change. I do see a price problem though, and if the sale price is a good one, then I can see that getting fixed. Here's to a good future for the gardens.
