Hello, Dan Bercu! What’s the deal! I thought you were the spokesperson for the partners and initially you seemed up front with the proposals to revitalize the Trancas, as we called it back in the day. Sounded good to me until I found out the market folks were leaving. That is bad enough but now the announcement of Malibu Gardens having to pack it in is devastating to all of us at the west end of town.
This is the place where we can get our garden plants and advice without having to traipse over the hill. This is the place where families meet and greet during the fire season for information. This is the place where we can let our kids roam safely among the farm animals and kitties.
The garden center does not have to be the staging place. How about using the area across the street that will be used for the new parking lot? Do you really think that the folks whipping over the canyons with their surfboards to Zuma are going to spend big bucks in some chi-chi stores with their Paris, London, Milan, Beverly Hills shopping bags? Is that what Trancas is to become? C’mon, man, Trancas is part of our town, our home. Without Malibu Gardens, it’s nothing.!
Tell the partners what the locals are saying.
