If I (taxpayer of peoria) have to pay for a private museum that I don't want on a piece of property that is better suited for other purposes, do I get in free?
Darn.
I wondered from the start WHY THE HELL Lakeview was given carte blanche (or close to it) on the Sears property. Doesn't it matter that Lakeview Museum SUCKS, and has FOREVER? I mean, is the new museum gonna have a HUGE used magazine and book area? Is that what we have to look forward to?
On top of that, no one that lives over 11 miles from Peoria even gives a CRAP about Peoria's history UNLESS it's presented in a great way... like, build a few historical type homes down on that property... make it a living museum... have a house from like the 1850s... from around 1910... then around 1940... something like that. Build a mini-distillery. Something different. Not some danged rectangular huge GIGANTIC used book building.
The Caterpillar thing is a no-brainer... that WILL WORK... the rest of it, if done as it appears it will be done, will SUCK. Just like Lakeview does now... it SUCKS. SUCKS A LOT. What a suckin' joke!
What a suckin' joke! Thanks Prego, I'll be using that.
The old farts planning this thing don't understand the simple facts of modern day America.
Retail. Give us more meaningless crap we can buy to fill up our already over burdened lives.
We also want an IMAX theatre because we need desparately to escape all the crap we've purchased and our over burdened lives.
We want some where for our kids to climb, sweat and play. It is suckin' cold nine months out of the year in this town. We need to get Junior out to burn some fuel in the hopes he'll stop beating his little sister.
If you can deliver all these things and put it under the title, "Educational" thereby allievating our insecurity complex, all the better.
You are right, the CAT thing will work, God bless them for paying their fair share of the tab. The rest of it, take a hint. You ain't raising money because no one give a $hit.
Ooooh, mini-distillery.
As for this: "We want some where for our kids to climb, sweat and play." ... the Junior League's Peoria Playhouse - which is NOT taxpayer funded - should fit the bill admirably. Well, maybe not so much the sweating, but indoor fun to be had by all under 4 feet.
Mini-distillery... now see, THAT could work! I am aware of the Jr. League's plans. I also know they began with a relationship and plan with Lakeview Museum and then were ditched later on. Morons. Lakeview should know that grown ups generally only attend museums in an attempt to gain false respect from their off spring. Duh! Bless the Jr. League for finding their own way. They aren't looking for taxpayer funding YET, but me thinks its coming. I was at their City Council presentation. They don't have near the amount of cash it will take to build what they want to build.
