Don't Read This, Mayor!

A warning for The Don before advancing one more letter: I do worry about your health and want to make sure you don't blow too much of a gasket if going further.

OK?

I agree with you.

Sure, you're saying, what's the punch line? There is none, at least when it comes to management of Inventure Place, especially after even more consideration of their assertion Akron just didn't have enough critical mass audience to draw people in to what is now becoming a $38 million dollar middle school.

I guess that's why the Akron, Cleveland and McKinley museums of art are such failures; it totally explains why the Pro Football Hall of Fame can't attract a crowd, why the Great Lakes Science Museum never turns a turnstile and the Rock Hall next door has nothing but flies buzzing around the doors.

That's probably why Zoar and Holmes County live through the year thanks to summertime tourist visitors, and why Dover would be better off taking down those Warther Museum signs as a waste of I-77 space.

Why, there's no reason at all to believe a properly-managed attraction could do any business at all in a region with only a couple million people, not to mention hundreds of school districts in a 22-county area that makes up the northeast Ohio quadrant.

Take a deep breath, Don. We actually agree on something.
