Well, things are still all fouled up at your National Whitewater Park. Having been stiffed by residents of Hawfield Road, the developers of the park are now hearing it from residents of Charlie Hipp Road. Seems nobody wants a busy park entrance down the street from their homes.
This, of course, should not be a surprise and helps explain why the county-owned site sat empty for so long. It was land-locked with no good way in, that and it was hard by a chemical plant and across the river from a waste-treatment plant.
But, hey, city wonder-lawyer Ron Kimble says Charlotte would only be on the hook for a few hundred thousand if the bad luck park cannot make enough money to pay its city-backed loans, so who is counting?
