Sunny, with a high of 82 and low of 60 degrees. Sunny in the morning, clear overnight.
This seems so ridiculously obvious, I wonder if the idea has ever been seriously broached before! If that revenue could be judiciously applied to also enhance the tourist experience, it would result in more visitor retention and even more $$$ spent on this side.
A great idea, but who would make sure such largesse, if actually obtained, is not wasted like so much has been over the decades? Waste like Urban Renewal of the 60's, a/k/a destruction of downtown, Wintergarden, then its demolition, Convention Center, now owned by the Senecas to settle the lawsuit, and on and on.
73° and Sunny
