I did drive by the "Jammin' in the Park" event this afternoon. Yes. There were people there. There were far more people in Walmart, judging by how full their parking lot was. And at the Deer Park movies.<br /><br /> Speaking of what interests the locals, and will get them to turn out, do you remember how packed downtown was to see them blow up that smokestack on the former Pen-Ply site? <br /><br /> See? Here is a "constructive" comment for those that want more people down town. Once they're finished cleaning up the former Pen Ply site, the Port (who owns the site) should hold weekly " blow up stuff" events there. Bring in an old junker and pack it full of TNT, and after some build up showmanship, blow the thing up. Every week, something new to blow up. <br /><br /> Or, we can do like our friends and allies in Saudia Arabia do, and have public stonings of women who we don't approve of. Or, if we really want to up the "Gawk factor", we can have public floggings, and then be-headings. <br /><br /> I know, we say we oppose things like that. How barbaric. It is the reason we go into countries to do "regime change" and fund opposition groups. That is why we are fighting the so-called ISIS.<br /><br /> But gee-whiz. Our friend and ally Saudia Arabia has been doing public beheadings for far longer than ISIS has existed, and we still invite them to the White House. <br /><br /> So, if that type of activity is acceptable for the US government and all the "powers that be", I'm sure the loggers,cowboys and racists in the area will turn out in droves.<br /><br /> Because nothing else seems to be doing it!

With Hurricane Ridge, the National Park and Rialto Beach to compete against, who thinks 50 foot "pocket beaches" in a seedy little town with views of oil tankers and smoke stacks are going to be a draw?<br /><br /> Sure, all the usual boosters will be there today. Of course. They have to be.<br /><br /> But as the photos of the other "improvements" that these "beaches" are an extension of show, few people are drawn to them, even during an unusually warm and dry summer. <br /><br /> It'll be a hoppin' place when it is cooler and wetter.<br /><br /> There is a whole other aspect that these "waterfront improvements" reveal, and state to the world. Variations on the theme, and you can decide in which order of priority.<br /><br /> While state agencies are advising municipal governments to address climate change, rising sea levels, tsunamis and such by NOT putting infrastructure and NOT spending public monies on projects near the water front, Port Angeles tells the world "Screw you all, we know better than you all..."<br /><br /> That despite all the warnings NOT to build along the waterfront, Port Angeles says to the world " What? Me worry? It isn't our money, anyways. We will just put our hands out and cry poor when our projects fail. This is what we do."<br /><br /> That Port Angeles can straight faced tell the public it has no money to continue supporting the Webster Fine Arts Center, or any number of other things residents might want. That they can hold meetings to solicit from the public what programmes and services the public is willing to see cut because the City has no money, BUT it can spend $8.5 million on projects that nobody asked for, and that will used by very few. Interesting how NOT building these "artificial beaches" was not presented to the public as part of the "cost cutting" options. Favored projects never are.<br /><br /> That Port Angeles can cry with it's hands out, saying it is "distressed", but it has $8.5 million, or can put staff time and resources to find, administer and oversee the grants to build "artificial beaches" in the Pacific North West (with literally lethally cold waters) that there was absolutely NO demonstrated need for.<br /><br /> That Port Angeles' staff and leadership are so out of touch with reality that they see spending $8.5 million in public money on a completely frivolous project, instead of putting staff time to find, apply for and administer grants to, for example, help residents insulate their homes because 30% of Port Angeles residents can't afford to pay their utility bills. ( Instead, Port Angeles RAISES the rates!)<br /><br /> It is easy to continue adding to this list all the affronts and insults one can see created by what the city staff and local leadership have created with this, once again, stupid project.<br /><br /> "Pork". Un-needed projects created to benefit a select few.
