Added bonus: a little free practical advice
This morning's Standard-Examiner carries another fine guest commentary retort to that half-baked Bob Geiger screed, published by the Std-Ex on July 31st. In this morning's well crafted guest editorial, Ogden resident Charles Lyon skillfully dismantles Mr. Geiger's false premises, sets forth an array of facts demonstrating that Ogden City is well on the way to "rebirth" (even in the absence of gondolas), and further points to one of the chief factors contributing to the presumed demise of Chris Peterson's erstwhile failed land grab, i.e., Boss Godfrey's pre-election decision to refrain from selling our "crown jewel" Mt. Ogden parkland.
Mr. Lyons also closes his most excellent article with some sage advice for the gondola-obsessed remnants of Lift Ogden. If these downtrodden souls still wish to remain politically relevant, and to relieve themselves of the indignity of being the butt of all Ogden jokes, we believe they should take a long and hard look at Mr. Lyon's final paragraph:
Geiger and Lift Ogden should work toward the goal of a gondola to help set Ogden apart from everywhere else. But until they find a way to pay for it that everyone else can accept, maybe Lift Ogden could help to lift Ogden by promoting the other great things we have or could have here if we all work together.Fine guest editorial this morning from Mr. Lyon. It's a good read, and a craftsman-like piece of work to boot. We thus recommend all readers (not just gondolists) take a look at it.
Reader comments are invited, of course.
