My proposal to Ralston is a small locally owned bookstore and cafe in Ward 2. Both kids and adults can benefit from having a book store. I believe that this bookstore/cafe would work well in Ward 2 because that is where the central hub of the city is located. Reading books is a pastime or hobby of many people including myself, so I think that this would be a great addition to the city. I think that the best way to buy books is to buy them locally, and that is something that Ralston is missing. The cafe part of the bookstore would be a way for people to relax and read a book with some coffee or other drinks.
The cafe could also be a good place to meet with friends or family. The bookstore & cafe would be a contact zone in the city. I think that placing it near the middle of ward 2 would probably be the best location because it would be near the elementary school. I think that if it was near the elementary school, it could encourage the kids to get into reading. I believe that the bookstore & cafe would fit into Ralston because it fits into the values of the city. The city has mostly small businesses, and I think that the bookstore & cafe would fit right it.
