Lakeshore Drive
What's going on with it. I drove out there yesterday and it looks like crap! The shelters are in disrepair and and much of it is muddy and bare of grass. This used to be one of the nicest areas of town. To make it worse it's closed from Shelter 1 to Marconi Dr. In other words the part that people used to go to to picnic, fish and just take generally enjoy the lake. The construction project that was the original excuse was supposedly 90% finished in 2010.
Lakeshore Dr was once named one of the 10 most beautiful places in the country to watch the sunset. Now the police come and run you off from the limited areas that you're allowed to be just before sunset. They've basically taken it away from the public and made a private park for the people who live out there. How did this happen and why isn't there a public outrage over this elitist BS?
I guess if you're under 40 you don't remember what it was like to go out there on the weekend and enjoy what was once one of the best places in the region to spend the day. It's sickening to think that a privileged few have been able to use their influence to steal Lakeshore Dr from the general public.
