We need to name the beach. Our own Downtown Beach. No, that's not a good name. We are talking about the little spit of sand (when the water is low) that becomes overrun every warm weekend at Confluence Park. The season of Confluence Concerts, which starts this year on July 1, overlooks that beach.
First the music. The Greenway Foundation presents a series of four outdoor/on the lawn concerts July 1, July 8, July 15 and July 22. Each concert is 6:30-8:00 and food and beverages and adult beverages are available. This is a fun program covering blues, zydeco, jazz and swing, respectively in the schedule.
But, back to the beach with no name. Here are some off the wall suggestions from our editorial panel. Let's hear your ideas (or complaints)! "Drifter's Landing," "Plage Fideaux," "La Playa," "Flush," or, a sponsorship opportunity such as, "Chase Bank Beach at Confluence." They could even put in an ATM. And, the Greenway Foundation could get the big sponsorship fee and help out all the rest of their fine river projects that make living Downtown so enjoyable!
