Skyline

                       


A while ago I mentioned how foggy it was outside and how our skyline disappeared.  I found this picture of the skyline and thought I'd post it.  Yes, I edited the reflection in the water :)   


Local talk is the view will be changing.  If our politicians can get off their butts they will be adding some parks, office buildings, apartments to the inner harbor, to the right of the tall building (HSBC Bank).  Several years back we built a new arena for hockey and indoor events.  The old one has sat idle since.  Bass Pro may be coming to that building.  Again, if our politicians don't screw it up!  There has been a contract in place with Indians to build a casino downtown as well, ground needs to be broken by Dec 8.  It's been back and forth and no doubt it will turn into another Peace Bridge.  For at least 10 years there has been talk about redoing the bridge that comes over the river from Canada.  No one can agree on anything, style of the bridge, were it will come into NY, how many lanes.  No decision, still no new bridge!  


I don't know why there is so much turmoil about things like this, the city and county needs to move and improve before no one is left in the area!

I think the problem with politics is that there is too much talk and no listening.  Everyone has there own opinion and nobody's willing to compromise.  Too bad everyday people like you and me can't just vote to make the decision.  It took over three years for our community leaders to decide on the Renaissance Square in downtown Rochester.  They couldn’t decide where to build the new bus terminal or if our city even needed a new one.
