Residents of Ward 8 expressed their feelings about a pavilion that's set to be built on the east campus of the St. Elizabeths complex during a forum that was both heated and confrontational. 

About 50 residents attended a two-hour meeting to discuss the St. Elizabeths East Gateway Pavilion on Tuesday, Nov. 13 inside the St. Elizabeths Auditorium in Southeast. Dan Simons, a principal with Vucurewich Simons Advisory Group of Kensington, Md., and one of four team leaders of the project, spoke about the pavilion in terms of being an urban park.
