A Peck of Park Patterns



A park, 1/4 - 1/2 of a block in size, across from the library, is a capital idea. But I've heard worries about its becoming a "problem". This is code for "poor people" and "youth". Hardly problems. We just have to make sure that everyone mixes well.

The Library Park provides a great opportunity for local economic development. Here are a few ideas to make this a lively public space:

Extend the library hours

There's no reason the library can't be open until midnight. The City could do a $5 "cover charge" for 9pm - midnight, and provide a band, to pay for the library staff. People would pay it. The Library Evening could become quite a scene ... lectures, music, literary circles, vendors, etc.

Extend the bus hours

Keeping LTD active later, especially on weekends, could pay for itself. Local venues & pubs can get involved in raising ridership, bus awareness and making the system easier to use. And, it could lower incidents of drunk driving.

Extend the Atrium hours

The ground floor of the Atrium is a terrific evening venue. Any number of local entrepreneurs would rent this space, charge a cover, and hold events there.

Vendors in the park

An incubation program for vendors, in collaboration with LCC and Saturday Market, would make the park a place to eat, snack and shop late into the evening. All that's needed is some rain shelter, awnings, arcades etc.

Vendors in the surrounding buildings

Arcades and awnings provide shelter from the rain ... if they are high enough, they allow sun through. Small shops, vendors and food providers can line the two sides of the park, and extend down the alleyway. This is a permanent market presence.

Benches, tables, chairs, awnings, fountains and amenities

Loose tables and chairs for people to sit. Fountains for people to splash around. Trees for shade. Bicycle valet parking for those willing to brave the elements. Awnings and tents to protect people from the elements.

Infill housing

We've identified a number of places to put housing on top of the surrounding buildings. And, of course, an affordable housing complex on the West side of the park, perhaps with a local CDC like St. Vincent de Paul's, with ground floor shops and a close integration with the park, would be ideal.

1/4 block of apartments: Student housing and affordable housing

The collapse of the speculative housing market doesn't mean everyone has a place to live:

a) Affordable housing -- the local St. Vincent de Paul is committed to developing affordable housing, and the site is city-owned.

b) UO Student housing -- the University continues to expand its housing on and off campus, but why not place car-less students (graduates, undergraduates, and their families) downtown? It's across the street from the fastest bus to the University, and would help to connect students to downtown.

Use your resources: The Tango Center, New Zone, DIVA, Bradford's, The Farmer's Market, etc ...

The surrounding small businesses, co-ops and non-profits are over-flowing with ideas, but are underfunded. They would all certainly take responsibility for programming activity, to connect the park to the rest of the Eugene community.

2020.09.25【酒店小姐】【酒店公關】的基本介紹跟工作內容讓對方主動接近的密技這種酒店小姐具備了極高的專業精神,因為她們意識到酒店酒店上班小姐上班只有趁年輕的時候才能多賺一點,不敢來酒店上班-酒店打工的原因並確實達到店內的業績標準,酒店兼差不是一個複雜的工作環境?時常將薪酬的最高標準銘記在心。反觀,如果你因為酒店小姐給你聯絡方式,感到沾沾自喜,那麼你可能會受到她要求同行或出遊的攻勢,酒店小姐的基本介紹跟工作內容短時間內就賠光自己的積蓄,然後再被她拋棄。斷絕金錢往來,也代表雙方緣分到了盡頭,千萬不要由愛生恨,變成恐怖的跟蹤狂。酒店內是男女偽裝戀愛的舞台,為了要追求專業酒店小姐,客人必須建立一套自己的「虛擬世界」,以對抗店家或酒店小姐的「虛擬世界」,這才是最快速的捷徑。這是因為酒店提供了男性美夢般的環境,男客人也可以反過來給酒店小姐一個美好的夢。若是拚命不斷地去酒店消費,只會被人看作是心術不正的「金主」。店小姐甚至會有兩支手機,一支工作用,一支私人用。專業的小姐與白天也很忙碌的兼職小姐不同,她們看準可能成為「金主」的客人,願意花自己的下班時間來經營關係。為了避免對方要求同行或出遊,你可以偽造某IT企業的公司負責人名片,假裝自己很忙碌的樣子。記得不要對酒店小姐露出色瞇瞇的表情,要讓她看見你紳士般的風采,絕對不要顯露洋洋得意的態度。之所以穿西裝,是因為可以製造「制服效果」。精緻的包包或鞋子不用說了,一定是基本配備,至於會在酒店小姐面前拿出來的皮夾,也必須精心準備。為了取得信任而亮出來給對方看的錢,至少也要十萬日圓的鈔票,把皮夾塞得滿滿的。這樣的小動作,就能讓具備專業的酒店小姐眼神為之一亮。這麼一來,你只要扮演好能夠讓酒店小姐不把你當成「一般客人」、而是有機會發展成朋友或戀人的角色,就能輕鬆實現從下班約會直接升級成上賓館的計畫。回頭來看,你如果頻繁去店裡消費、每月投入二、三十萬日圓,但只要被認定為「一般客人」,是無法成功追求到對方的。你應該要把錢花在自己所扮演的角色上。用這個方式來追求的話,攻陷人氣第一名的酒店小姐有如囊中取物。不過也要提醒一件事,當你隔天見到酒店小姐的素顏時,希望你不會因為好像看到另一個人而嚇得腿都軟了。然後,你可以用穿西裝不打領帶的爽朗姿態,在酒店即將打烊之際走進店裡,高貴地邀請她一起吃飯,「在六本木有家藝人投資的酒吧,是我朋友開的,方便的話要不要一起去呢?」目標是要在她的下班時間成功邀約。
