i urge you
to call &/ or write
the commercial appeal
the memphis flyer
cohen
the memphis city council
wharton
& tell them -
we the people
want to have the carousel restored
(*not* stored away)
to be used as a centerpiece
in a family centered area
say- on the land of the fairgrounds
where our pippin has been laid to rest
or
on mud island
downtown
on broad
in the pink palace
or childrens museum-
preserve our heritage
save this magnificent piece of art

I am in support of this wonderfully sensible idea for the Libertyland Site. Memphis now has the opportunity to create a better place for families and children to gather and this plan provides a way to appreciate the Carousel and the Zippin Pippen as well. With the proximity to the Children’s Museum and the new Kroc center, it seems like the perfect solution for families in the surrounding neighborhoods to have access to green space, to the historic rides, and the arts. Visitors to the area would be impressed at the forward thinking and progressive approach this plan embraces – how refreshing to imagine Memphis could actually develop a protype for other communities to emulate! I would like to say to the persons responsible for this idea… Well done and good luck!!
