Maybe this speaks more to our lack of a social life than our desire to become more involved with our community, but we watched Monday’s park board meeting online at home, for the better part of two hours the other night.
What did we learn?
Queen Elizabeth Park is going to get a zip line — sorry, “aerial trail”— by next summer, despite there being pretty much no public demand for it until some aerial trail enthusiasts at the park board floated the idea, approved it and picked a private company to build it without it being put out to tender. Hmmm. We just hope the park board will hold a contest to name the newborn zip line. So far, we’d like to propose “Sky Slide,” “Human Cloud,” “Treetop Tickler,” “Unnecessary” or “Gary.”
Think about the conversations:
“Hey, honey, why are you so late getting home?
“Oh I was hanging out at Queen E. Park and spent the afternoon riding Gary.”
Gold.
