James has hit on a great idea with the zip line. That needs to happen. Which also gives me an idea: how about gondolas instead of trolleys? Wasn’t that part of last year’s prank by the Weekly? I think we need a gondola from the Bench to Downtown, and from Downtown to Bogus, as suggested last year. If not gondolas, how about some ski lifts? The Guardian wouldn’t have to gripe about bikes if everyone parked their bikes and cars and rode a zipline, gondola, or ski lift to downtown. Now, personally, I want a nice kick scooter that you hook to the zipline, gondola, or ski lift, and unhook when you land, and then you just kick off (in a speedy momentum way, not a death or football way.) When you want to go back to your car or bike, you hook up to the ski lift or gondola, and enjoy a lofty ride back.

Can we we just make the whole downtown and greenbelt an amusement park? We need a monorail above Eagle Road, and a roller coaster to McCall, too.

I should post to FB and laugh at the uproar!

EDITOR NOTE–Unfortunately, I have no ideas. Government, using our money, has been able to lure away most of the reporters from the local legacy media. As a result the media is fed a diet of well written stories spun to make the agencies look good. No reason for news outlets to pay for news when they get free “viewer video,” along with free letters to the editor and opinion pieces in addition to all the official statements penned by the PR people. Print, broadcast, and web have become mere portals for access these days.
