Hermann Park has announced they will redesign everyplace west of both the reflecting pool and the zoo in 2020. The playground, Japanese Gardens, and southwest corner are included. And we STILL can’t get a dig permit in those areas!

You mean the area around the obelisk that was torn out and totally replaced between 1989 and 2002? That Obelisk?
