So many ideas, so much debate....some more hair-brained than others. I have yet to hear one single proposal to simply enhance what is already there. Why not spend the millions already allocated for development of that area on making it the most incredible public park in the entire state? There are ample shopping opportunities 2 minutes down the street....has anybody looked at what the objective should be?? Super hotel, super golf course (like it or not, it HAS succeeded....I personally didn't think that it would; I was wrong, very wrong), super convention facilities, fantastic eating and shopping opportunities a mere mile down the SAME street....what purpose should the park serve?? IMHO, it should serve to entertain the people staying in the hotel/visiting our area and the local residents as well. Why not make the disk golf course the finest in the Southeast? Believe it or not, disk golf is an established national association. Why not recruit regional and national competitions? This would satisfy the lodging tax-watching-only-measure-of success-we can crow about Tourism boards.
Why not build the biggest, most intricate, craziest playground in the Southeast region? Add in a simple ampitheatre and host outdoor music events every week there......already being done in downtown with great success. Outdoor movies, etc. TVA is happy, RSA is happy, the people visiting our area are happy, the kids (and parents) in our area are happy.....problem solved?
Geez, but who am I?
Wow, I love that idea!!! TD.... COME ON IN and do a story idea on this!!!
