When town is one street long and you have tourists who come to town and aren't taught and given a good local transport system to use, you end up with this nonsense. THOUGH, I find it hard to believe this is simply about just parking and traffic.

Put your tourists on a public transportation bus. IF they want a car, get a few ready so they can be called "tourist cars" and have them be able to drive the road on back side of lake so everyone feels the "did something themselves." Get them off of I-70. I see lots of positives about moving this entire issue up to the resorts and getting looky loos off of the highway.. though that is really a dream and I know it. After all, we are all americans and they also pay the 'federal gas tax.' <sigh>

About 300 people are shot a day in the United States.

Isn't the point of running to get in and change these rules if you don't like them? Would have been a tough run though if that was enough to remove himself from the pack.

If it was dug over 100 years ago, It obviously needs to be preserved as a historic site for Erie to remember back to a time before it was overrun by sprawl.

55k people that signed up, not including the others that were already in the system. Wouldn't that be the best bank account ever? A bank account that everyone donates $35 to so that this company can make money of investments, and not us.

That works out to a ban account JUST with 55k people of -&gt; $19.2 million sitting there. Somehow with the way this was thrown together and done behind doors, it would not surprise me that this money was not "touchable" for other investments.

Point simply is 19.2 million in cash and rising will sit in their coffers. We the people do not get a bit of that, and my guess is they have a few tax breaks on top of that. In fact, any financial folks willing to pipe up and tell us how this is all tax deductible for this country. No way they aren't getting tax breaks.

Most fruit trees are grafted. From your explanation, it sounds like what has happened is that the grafted part of the tree died and the tree that the cherry tree was grafted to has shot up a sprout. The new sprout is most likely going to be a different type of cherry tree than what you are used to. An example, they will graft a slow growing but tasty variety to a fast growing cherry tree that may not have the best fruit. Result is a fast growing tasty tree. In this case, you probably now have a shoot from the fast growing non tasty tree.

This is misleading. I thought this was about a group of Boulder police officers having a retreat in Estes Park.

It has always taken less time to cross town on a bicycle. How is this news?

Gary has been trying to become city administrator of just about every other town in the front range and they haven't taken him and have chosen others instead. Go figure.

This type of organization does not fit in with the values we have here in Lafayette. They are openly discriminatory. This is nothing short of preaching hate and telling people discrimination is ok. This is not OK for our children to hear.

We have every right to wonder what our enormous neighbor is doing. They in effect shut down that side of town for a large portion of the weekend, with a population almost equal to the size of the entire town of Lafayette.

Something sounds rather strange and cultish to many of us, when a church has to split from traditional teachings in the name of marketing.

When a business enters an area, buys up a good portion of the land important to the people of a city, the consequence is that they must find a way to also work with the community as a whole. When they don't, whether its Yale in the middle of the hood, or a Mega-Church that doubles the population of a small city, people get upset. This church has stifled any real and new growth of our business base without requiring more sprawl. It has also put an enormous amount of pressure on the other local businesses that do have to deal with them and their patrons weekly.

The unfortunate reality is that the Devil is actually in the details. People that go to this church in our community act like they would rather be defensive than to engage. The impression they leave does matter.

We've welcomed the Church, but the church and their patrons do not make us feel very welcome in our own community.

Maybe the preacher should have a sermon on how best to treat thy neighbor.
