No judgment, just fact —–Downtown Greensboro Inc. —–recipients of city money —- is gauging interest in a downtown outdoor ice skating rink as part of annual Winterfest. No surprise, N&R editorial page editor Allen Johnson thinks it’s a ‘cool idea.’
Commenters raise concerns about G’boro’s moderate winter climate, although the article mentions ice rinks in Charlotte and Raleigh as part of those cities’ winter festivals, while Johnson notes Myrtle Beach’s rink.
Personally, I’m not understanding why the budget goes up considerably once the rink is up and running —–with admission comparable to a movie ticket.
