Adjournment
I don’t know what they are proposing, but I’m all about some cool signage at the Hasbro Building at LaSalle Square!
It would be really cool if Hasbro did something downtown in front of their new building for the public. Something like those shooting water parks or things to climb on. I’m picturing Boulder, CO or around the new greenway in Boston, if anyone is familiar with what I’m talking about.. Something to get people there…
