“America’s First Zoo” is working with the city to make visiting easier, and more enjoyable, for all of its guests. Their plans call for a huge, 700-space parking garage coupled with ground floor retail. It’s a good use of space for a multipurpose project.

Not only has the zoo improved its immediate surroundings over the last few years, by greatly increasing/improving the size of its mural collection, it now offers even more entertainment options; like the upcoming “Xtinkshun” puppet exhibit sponsored by The Jim Henson Company.
