We're not a tourist town simple as that. There's nothing here. Bush plane roof is leaking . They need 5 million. Its hilarious people think we're a tourist town.
Another thing that would help a great deal would be for the news agencies to simply deliver the news instead of their opinions, they at this point are swaying hordes of people, some agencies are worse than others (CBC) being the leaders, but others aren’t far behind, time to eliminate the panels that are made up of biased individuals, OPINION is not NEWS, NEWS is about what is happening.They should be mandated to simply deliver the NEWS instead of putting their own spin on the matter.
These players and families pay thousands of dollars a year to play. A huge part of that cost is ice time, which includes helping to pay for operating costs of arena attendants. Occasionally, they may have to clean a bigger mess…that’s the job. Fine the team, make them clean it the next day, but for a team to lose a championship like this is beyond pathetic.
This matter should have been discussed with the team and an opportunity given to make things right before taking such drastic action. It's just not right and the NOHA should be held accountable.
This move does not make any sense at all. The Canal District is a focal point of our City. How does having tourists go to a site off of Carmen’s Way make any sense? Sorry I just don’t understand this. Sad for our City and to the investors of the Canal District who have really made an effort to develop an area we Saulites are proud of.
As much as I agree that the new location is not ideal, I have to admit that I avoid the downtown core as much as possible. Too much crime and a general feeling of being unsafe. Until the homelessness and addiction crises in this city are improved, the downtown area will not be appealing.
People living downtown don't have many options. I think it's only City Meat Market and the Dollar store in the mall. I hope this gentleman is able to overcome the hurdles and provide a much needed service for that area. Fruit? Veggies?
Accountability. You are supposed represent yourselves (and your city) in a way that shows pride and respect for both yourself and the place in which you are visiting. There is no excuse for poor behaviour and sometimes the only way to learn the lesson is to pay the price of your actions. Sad on so many levels. Do better.
If I was a tourist taking the train, I would be very unimpressed boarding in an unpaved industrial yard. The Canal District has the beautiful, new building, paved dedicated parking and easy access to the other amenities. It’s mind boggling that the City hasn’t fought to keep the tour train operating from the Canal District. Isn’t that the focus for tourism development?
