What Would You Build in Edgewater?

Edgewater, MD - Earlier this week, Edgewater Patch asked our Facebook readers what they would build or fix in town if they were given $1 million.

Readers from across the area responded with answers varying from new playgrounds, renovated high schools and improved hospitals.

Also early this week, U.S. News and World Report released its list of the Top 10 Children’s Hospitals Across the Country. The hospitals were ranked in terms of “clinical outcomes,” “efficient coordination of care,” and “care-related resources.”

The publication periodically releases lists regarding the best schools in the country as well as most livable cities. Many of the things that make a town or city ‘livable’ are resources and public spaces i.e. good schools, roads, parks, libraries, etc. Not surprisingly, these were many of the things readers said they would build or fix in their town if granted $1 million to do so.

Here’s what your neighbors said they would build in Edgewater:

• "Bowling Alley with a full arcade at the old Giant Food location."
• "Skatepark."
• "A huge concert venue and book all the best bands."
• "Make road repairs. Expand beaches and piers. Add a upper class tiki bar. Maybe some water recreation sites. Love the life here. What a wonderful place to live."
• "A public boat ramp."
• "Finish upgrading my house and put in a in-ground pool."
• "I would fix up the old Giant and make it into a skate arena. That way all kids, teens and adults could have a great time. Or I would make into a JEEPERS! What fun it used to be at the mall in Glen Burnie."
• "Build some parks and playgrounds - there's no place for children to play around here!"
• "Put another lane on the South River bridge. Especially southbound. But that would probably be more than $1 million."
• "Clean the beaches and the bay and be able to swim."
