The Muse is Loose

Monday, with the aid of a giant metal saw, the walls came tumbling down on the battleground in Corpus Christi called the coliseum. It looked like a giant quonset hut from WW II. It was, in fact, dedicated to the men and women who served during that era. It was built in 1954 and closed in 2004. I was there a few times. A state Baptist Convention, country peddlers (sp), the Harlem Globetrotters. Folks like Elvis shook, rattled, and rolled at the coliseum. The American Bank Center has that business now and the battle begins anew as to what will be located in this prime spot along the bayfront. The word "world class" is being tossed about. Which part of the world I would want to ask? Anyway, it will be kinda' fun to watch and listen to all the ideas. I opt for a giant ferris wheel, pony ride, and a "world class" roller coaster that swings out over the bay. A sky high restaurant could top this thing off so folks could see Port Aransas. A hot dog vendor would be a must, along with someone selling turkey legs.Tables for picnickers. Only one trash can. No one uses them in Corpus anyway. What's your idea?
