Downtown Ogden

     Poor old downtown with the fireworks and all the light ceremonies.  No one will go there because it has been to long in the development phase.  I used to go to the downtown area about ten years ago.  Everything is vacant and for lease yet is goes on to be such a drain on the economy.  Maybe it is just time to admit that it might not ever work and that the economics have moved somewhere else.  It is do to the bad management of the Mayor.  For Heaven sakes I drove down 26th street about two months ago and there were bike lanes painted off to the side.  Then a week later the street was paved over and the bike lanes had to be repainted.  Come on that could have been planned better.  What a waste of money to do something twice.

It is like Wonder Bread

     I use to live in Promontory Tower in the 1990's and it was a lot more fun in Ogden those days.  There was the Downtown Street Festival, hiking without a vehicle being broken into in the parking lot, and naughtiness unbounded.  Now Ogden has Acappellapalooza festival, run Santa run 5k sometime in December, and Demolition Derbies. Such wholesome activities for the whole family and to guess why no one wants anything to do with it.    

What is New

     East of me Weber State now owns the house by the Dee Event Center.  It is torn down and will become a park that goes back to the baseball field.

I know about Weber State

     It must be a tad much to name a blog after a university.  I searched to see what was available and it was there.
