Tearing up that YC patio and installing a playground for youngsters is a bad idea, whether it comes from Pat Renaud, Bob Thompson, Steven Lind, or any candidate.
Joe You can put me into the camp, with that same point of view. The YC has the hazard for kids of falling into its deeper waters, right at the edge of walkways. And the public awareness of kids falling into hazards, has been elevated by the recent gorilla incident. Wandering off from a playground is so obviously possible And then there's the problem of the "looks" of the place. The YC looks are already an issue, and would be further impacted by a playground. As you've said, playground at the YC is a really bad idea, IMO too. Tom |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I'm surprised by your comment . . . mr hill is making his comment strictly from a business perspective. to compare his comments to the food truck fiasco is simply not accurate. Tearing up the patio at the Yacht Club and installing a playground so kids can play while a family waits for a table, or while parents grab a drink at the bar, or while parents finish dinner is a terrible idea and will not contribute to the Yacht Club bottom line. Reminds me somewhat of the Thompson "crab pit." That never contributed a nickle to the bottom line but did manage to deposit sand across the YC inside floor. I know that you (joe) are not in that camp - - or at least I hope that you are not. so let's not belittle candidates whose views are obviously at odds with the current majority, unless of course you agree with that majority . . . and that would be a bigger 'flip-flop' than renauds! What? Belittling candidates? If I see what I believe is a bad idea I'm going to say so, regardless of whose idea it is. One would hope board members and board candidates would do the same. I refuse to fall into the Bob Thompson thinking as when he just recently told me after the last board meeting, "There is no such thing as a bad idea." There are bad ideas. Tearing up that YC patio and installing a playground for 50 or so youngsters is a bad idea, whether it comes from Pat Renaud, Bob Thompson, Steven Lind, or any candidate. That's my opinion. Your mileage may vary. |
