In regard to the April 24 Cook
County News-Herald
story “More rain gardens?”
Let’s make Grand Marais like Burnsville or any blacktop-concrete community and it will be so nice and be an example of progress we can all be proud of. I’m not proud of the mess that we made at the courthouse lawn Vets Memorial area. Theplanner and powers that be made a big ugly mess of that area. Angry Trout area? That’s progress, growth? Ugly. TheEast Bay area. That’s progress, growth? Ugly. I see the kayak business is out into the alley, sucking up the parking lot. All the yuppie projects that pop into some pea brains seem to get the blessing of council and that’s it.
I guess I am just too old and crabby to understand “progress.”
