I have an idea, since this forum has been relatively quiet... I don't know if this would do a lick of good, but why not try anyway....
I was thinking that maybe if we flooded Forest City with letters or emails asking to re-open the OB deck, that maybe it would do some good. Such a building and downtown lacking such an attraction seems a waste. I remember doing volunteer work for the observation deck in the late 1980's and early 1990's. I did it while volunteering for the visitors bureau when they had a booth in the portico at T.T.
It was fun and many visitors came to see this. I remember one historian telling me that there was also at one time an outdoor deck considerable higher. Anyway, I cannot buy anymore excuses why this is not open to the public. The complex benefits by having an attraction like this. The admission was fair and the attraction attracted many positive comments.
Now, we still have nothing of the sort. It is a shame and unacceptable.
I hope others out there want to see this come back as much as I do. If so, tell F.C. about it and tell them
why it should re-open. Well, just my thoughts.
