Councillor Says Installing Chess Boards In King's Square Could Revitalize The Area

Hearing someone yell check-mate in King's Square might become a regular occurrence. 

Councillor Ray Strowbridge is making a motion at Monday's council meeting to install chess boards in the square.

Strowbridge tells CHSJ News that he decided to pursue this after hearing a member of the Saint John Chess Club say that it would be a great idea if they could play the game outside. By installing chess boards, Strowbridge thinks we can draw more people to King's Square. If you build it, they will come, he says.
