Old Burien library is perfect for seniors
Thu, 09/03/2009
As reported in the Times/News, Gordon Shaw is opposed to using the old library as a senior center.
His message to this senior is "one day in the far distant future we will build a center, do not know where, meanwhile we save money by not doing anything."
(I saved a lot of money this week by not buying a car.)
Gordon continues, "When the center is built one day, it's up to you to live long enough to see it!
"Meanwhile go to Renton, Des Moines, Kent--they have great centers, with lunch programs and great dance floors."
The site of the old library is perfect. Adequate parking and handicapped access. Close to senior housing,, the new commons, stores, new bus terminal etc.
I note that the idea may be only a temporary solution.
As every handyman knows, "There is nothing so permanent as a temporary solution."
