It's not thin skinned. It was meant as a "Why can't we just get along?"
I haven't seen Lake City yet. I have seen what the crowd has done to Telluride and it's a crying shame. I also think that you are completely right about the station. It is ridiculous to doze it under instead of doing something with it. I haven't seen that area in some time now but I thought that some of the ideas posted earlier all have merit. A ton of money was spent remodeling the station in Ft. Worth and it is a sight see. In fact, will have train service soon.
We have the same problems all over. Lord knows the last thing the world needs is another roller coaster.
It's like anything else. As long as greed is king the rest will suffer. Like back east the last I heard the site of the largest cavalry engagement of the Civil War was slated to become a Mall. Yea one more piece of history dead so we can have another Sears.
Just goes to show Barnum was right....no matter where you are from.
