soon, the apartments could be
demolished.
Last week, Brumback led a contin-

dilapidated complex with abandoned
apartments marked with broken win-
dows, crumbling stonework, unfet-
tered vegetation and pools filled with
murky, stagnant water. After years in
which the area has languished in
neglect, Brumback said the time for
second chances is over.

The remainder of the day was one of meetings
with people of the city - not just Baytown’s police
who lives near the park and has been
active in the crusade against the terminal,
said he hopes to have a big turnout at
Tuesday’s meeting. Mahan said interest
from residents has exploded as more peo-
ple find out about what’s in store for their
beloved park.
“Every meeting gets bigger and big-

public opinion can derail anything, and
there’s a lot of people behind this move-
ment. More and more people are calling
me. I have not talked to anybody in

the RosgJand Park Pavilion, 100 Roseland
Drive. Baytown city manager Garry
Brumback will be on hand to answer ques-
tions and hear comments from residents
about the proposed terminal.
