If that's the case, isn't it sad that events such as this weekend are the only
things that are
bringing new and large crowds into AP? Everytime there's a sold out show at
Convention
Hall or other well attended musical event, it's good for the whole city. People
spend money
here. Someday, maybe they'll even come here and take a look around and like
what they
are seeing.
To me, it's a no-brainer when it comes to realizing the potential of what could
be in AP.
AP is probably the only city left that could create and sustain a music driven
buzz. We have
some cool venues. It's easy to get here both by driving and public transport.
Sadly, the "plan" would make AP more real estate and retail centric. I honestly
don't think
that's where our future lives. There's all ready too many retail choices that
are successful
in other places. It's always going to be hard to drive home buyers to AP
because of fear of
the city. Even if people move here, that winds up being a finite number.
Entertainment brings people from all over.
Even the tiny little Pt. Pleasant boardwalk uses entertainment to drive people
there. It's
packed every nice spring and summer day.
