Alex  City government is a joke. Nothing but Russell Lands puppets. The economic development team is even worse. Supposedly the future of alex city is tourism but the problem with that is there is no where for these tourists to stay anywhere near the only tourist attraction. Wind Creek is super nice but few folks have an RV or a disregarded to stay in one. Same with AirBandB. Most folks just want a  nice hotel on the water to stay in. Best we can offer is cheap motels miles from the water. I don't give a damn how many murals you paint downtown, no tourist in the world is going to come to AC to see it. The lake is the only tourist attraction that has the capabilities to draw tourists. I hate to break it to all the rich bored white women who own/operate the downtown businesses, but downtown is her. not viable. Business is not coming back. The only truly viable business downtown has closed and no matter what goes back in that space, it won't make it either. The city is quickly moving most of the customer base to the highway and they won't be coming back downtown to eat lunch or shop. But WTH, they got their Talent Mahal to go to work in while the citizens get 9 million in debt to pay off, when they could have gotten the building for free a few years before. Great stewardship of our money. Haha.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA
