The Good, the Bad, the Inspiration...

 

Our blog team member Sheffield Shelly has pointed out that her hometown has an updated website thanks to its new mayor, Steve Stanley. Here's the link:

That's in the "Good" column. In the "Bad" column is the announcement that the Inspiration Landing project will be requiring additional funding to complete the basic infrastructure. If that isn't bad enough, today's TimesDaily article on the project goes so far as to mention a big what if.

What if...Inspiration Landing never comes to fruition? Sheffield leaders commented that the work done on the area will be a great improvement for the city no matter what.

Plans now call for an open air venue to be up and running by May. Assuming that means late May, the city has 14 weeks to accomplish this milestone.

And that movie theater with its extra .50 admission price? Has anyone told the Inspiration Landing planners that those who can afford the price of a movie ticket now prefer to watch films from the privacy and comfort of their own COVID/disease free home?

While it's sad, many motion picture houses will now go the way of one-hour photo shops, video stores, and dry cleaners. You want a brave, new world? There may just be no room for Inspiration Landing in it.
