Myself and members of my family frequent Bryan Park at least 2 days per week. It is a fabulous park where so many different activities take place. There are already plenty of opportunities to use the park walking, running, or bicycling. Please keep the Park great for the wildlife and visitors who appreciate it being there. Please do not add more pavement. Thank you.
I was born and raised in Hagerstown and only live out of state because my Hagerstown office relocated me. I am actively involved with the Hagerstown roundhouse Museum. My family has been involved with the 202 for many years. I was there when 202 was pulled into the park and foe the dedication in Nov. 1953. This Hagerstown Monument must stay in town as the donors stated.
This Locomotive belongs to the Children of Hagerstown. Not Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. This is an opportunity for the City of Hagerstown demonstrate that they care about their legacy, their history. Hagerstown is the “Hub City” and that symbol is the WMRY 202.
The railroads made this town grown. Many of our families have past generations story of working for the railroad. This engine is a symbol of their hardwork and makes an impact with our children when they see it at the park.
The Locomotive 202 is highly important to remain in Hagerstown MD. We are known as The Hub. (Hub City). It is very important that this locomotive is preserved because it is a landmark. I have relatives who worked on the Railroad and 1 in particular who drove the Locomotive 202! It is a must see at the Hager City Park behind the Museum. Please do what it takes to do to preserve this famous landmark. Alot of history with this locomotive! Don't erase our history.
My dad Robert Lentz used to perform here with Abravanel. To demolish our famous concert hall would devastate me and my family due to our connection, but also those who continue to perform here, those who come from near and far to see performances and those who enjoy music in general. It would be culturally devastating for our renound concert hall to be destroyed by those who don't understand it's significance. Let's save our concert hall for the memory of our past loved musicians and for the future musicians and music lovers who are yet to come.

My family (auntie) a santana , still owns that land where the battle was held. They made leather out us wore us on backs and feet. Changed our identity to negro bu the early 1900s. I see how they try very hard to hide everything.
