In the past, I have been very critical of this project. I referred to it as a pearl necklace around a fat ugly chicks neck. For the record, I am changing my opinion. In reality I do not believe the board members back then really knew the potential of this project. It was simply presented as a walking trail with a view of the St. Lawrence River through some properties that are just plain ugly. After listening to Dan and Rick at last nights Riverwalk work shop "walk through", I realized that this project is going to be more than what anyone ever expected. Rick and Dan are part of a team or engineers, architects and landscape wizards that will create this Riverwalk along with our communities input. I mentioned to a friend of mine that I am pumped up about this project.
For those of you who could not make last nights event, I am making an extra special effort to keep you informed, maybe get you involved and possibly pump you up. I recorded the audio and took pictures of last nights tour. Tonight, I present to you part 1. The first part is 30 minutes long.....I think I got in over my head with trying to synchronize the audio with the pictures. Photos and text are a little out of synch, but I will do better with the remaining audio. Either way it works....
