Fix San Jacinto Hospital Now Says Reader
A reader urges immediate action on the old San Jacinto Hospital on Decker Drive at Garth. The building, though structurally sound, is an eyesore and poses hazards from broken glass and asbestos. The city or owners should secure, mow, trim, and address homelessness and safety, possibly tear down or repair, with council members pressed to act.
