The Arkansas Times is reporting that all the bids for the old ballpark are being thrown out for various infractions. The bottom line is it's back to square one. So Ray Winder is momentarily saved from being turned into parking lot. Rescued from the fate of a Joni Mitchell anthem.
There is a petition to give Ray Winder to the Little Rock Zoo here.
The city should guard the park, not offer portions of it for sale. UAMS has the resources to look elsewhere for its needs. Regardless, those charged with our parks should look to preserve them. If they feel they lack the funds to do so, they should look elsewhere for capitalization rather than attempt to sell off portions of the spaces they were entrusted to preserve.
