My Letter to the Editor of the Times Standard in Eureka - Suggestions for Using the Abandoned Safeway Store. Ideas from my Fellow Bus Riders.

Let’s put a water slide pool in the empty Safeway store in Eureka.

There is an abandoned Safeway at the corner of Harris and Harrison. Due to the cool weather here, a pool would be a great blessing to the community. The nearest water slide pools are in Redding or Santa Rosa. Too far to drive for a family that just wants to relax and do something fun for the kids. Arcata has a public pool but no slides. An indoor water slide park is a big success in Anchorage, Alaska.

While riding the city bus home tonight we discussed what other business would be best to put in that location. Suggestions: a snow skiing mountain, a piano store, a pool table store, a luxury car store or a skating rink.
