Satellite View of Inspiration Landing
Our regular blogger J. Redmon has stated that even though he lives in Sheffield, he has no idea where Inspiration Landing's Slag Yard is located. (Look to the far right of the above photo.) Now just imagine if you're not from the Shoals and the sun's rays are fast fading. Could you find the new music venue without some great signage?
Anyone spotted any signs? How about arriving from the south where some of the railroad tracks are closed? Think a GPS system is going to help that much there?
How about those arriving from I-65 via Florence. Has anyone consulted Lauderdale County or Florence about signs to point the way across O'Neal Bridge? Better yet, how about the actual address?
Mapquest anyone?
All advertising lists the venue at 91 Furnace Hill Drive, a narrow road which eventually dead ends. What happens if you ask the general public in Sheffield where Furnace Hill Drive is located? No, according to all current maps, the name of the street is Treatment Plant Road...which does lead into Furnace Road and then stops at a wooded area. We're pretty sure most citizens have no concrete idea where these two roads are either.
It's now just over three weeks until the first concert. There are no signs, no stage, no seating, and a venue manager who reportedly resides in Tupelo, Mississippi. Let's not forget the venue name is synonymous with the word "slut." Does this sound promising to anyone?
Has Sheffield Utilities run power to the proposed IL 'stage area', yet?
ReplyDeleteWe understand the answer to that is "no." BTW, the stage, by some accounts, is movable, so we're not sure just where the main power supply would terminate. Of course, there's also a box office and bar area that would need power. We're sure someone is banking on Steve Hargrove to take care of that.
