Midco Aquatic Center Big Success so far
I am actually glad to hear this. Like I said at the council meeting, I hope the place is so successful we don’t have to subsidize it with tax dollars. As I have often argued with public projects, if there is a true need, they will be self sufficient. It looks like the indoor pool is heading in that direction;
The Midco Aquatic Center is just one week removed from its opening day- and already the center is surpassing expectations.
In the first week-the water center drew in over 2,000 people for a swim and 600 others in for a tour.
“We are trying to really reach all different kinds of demographics and programs so that we have a lot things going on and a lot of things happening to encourage people to come join us at the Midco Aquatic Center,” said recreation coordinator, Jean Pearson.
Many people in the community say the $24 million indoor facility was a great investment for Sioux Falls.
So with this great success, will the propaganda wing of the Mayor’s office stop peddling the lies that got us here?
Is the Events Center siding finally showing it’s true colors?
I went out to look at the building today and besides noticing more ‘hot sauce’ seeping out from the concrete panels, the seams on the siding are starting to bow out several inches.
I have the feeling we are going to be dealing with this in the near future.
Do we have a different epidemic besides texting and driving?
There will be a presentation to the city council on Tuesday about saturation patrols in Sioux Falls. I found it interesting the number of people caught with no driver’s license or insurance.
This has been a problem for a long time in South Dakota. It’s one of the reasons I drive very defensively, you never know who is on the streets with no insurance.
I guess the only people living in McKennan Park are a Planning Commission members family and the mayor’s daughter
Besides this video looking like a trailer for a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie, I wondered why there wasn’t more interviews with people who were actually using the park for a gathering instead of the mayor’s friends and family.
