Two Uncommented References to the "G" Word

An all-time-indoor track record

By Curmudgeon

Two gondola references in Sunday's Standard-Examiner, and no WCF comments? Wow. I think that's probably an all-time-indoor track record.

The first appears in Charles Trentelman's column: "I'll say it if no one else will," he writes, "The century-long vision of a gondola up Mt. Ogden will never really die, but it is dead for now." [From your keyboard to God's ear, Mr. Trentelman....]

The second appears in Mark Saal's column. Saal found himself thinking about cities with trendy made up neighborhood names like Tribeca and SoHo, and he decided Utah... and Ogden... could use some of the same to to really put us on the cultural map. And his list includes SuProGo, short for "Those Ogden neighborhoods 'Surrounding Proposed Gondola.'"

Mr. Saal invites other suggestions.
