God afternoon,
As a life long resident of San Bernardino and someone that few up near the downtown area where I used to walk to
and hang it at the Central City Mall, later the Carousel, the Crest movie theater, 5th street park, The Harris store, and
so many other areas. It really was an amazing area to grow up in. I raised my own family in SB and currently live in
the Blair Park neighborhood where I am the current President of the neighborhood association. My family and I
frequently visit nearby cities like Redlands, Rancho Cucamonga, Rialto, etc., we go to those cities because we have
little options for shopping or dining in our own area. Each of the cities have a thriving hub downtown and I think
that directly relates to the overall quality of life of the residents and area. San Bernardino has not had anything like
this for many years. Thankfully local small businesses like the Downtown Fit Camp, the Enterprise Building, Kore,
and Viva La Boba have become stable businesses and are doing amazing things in the area and the Regal Cinema
and our California Theater continue to stay and support the city but we can’t put everything on their shoulders. They
need help. The mall location is prime location for the critical infrastructure needed so SB can be competitive with
other cities!! We have an amazing opportunity to bring our beautiful city back to a thriving and successful area.
Please make smart choices with this property and give our residents something we can be proud of and fully support.
Thank you,
Andrea Price
