I find it interesting and more than a little ironic that Allen Johnson of the News & Record has pooh-poohed the idea of a Downtown Greensboro Aquarium without looking into the idea whatsoever. I mean, the same Allen Johnson was all over the Greensboro Performing Arts Center promoting it without a care in the world as if it were the best thing since sliced bread until myself and the others he accuses of pooh-poohing GPAC actually pointed out the real numbers that Allen, Mayor Perkins, the Task Force and the rest on the take didn't want to admit. But here we have a real grass roots project that has become more popular in a month than GPAC became in a year and the local Editor of the "paper of record" (the paper that conveniently lost all its archives again) asks, "Am I missing something here?"
Yes Allen, for starters, no one is ramming an aquarium down the taxpayers' throats and secondly when it comes to an aquarium the numbers actually add up.
