It Could Have Been Greensboro

Ol' Fish Man just figured out how to add a new feature to the website. On your left is a news feed titled, It Could Have Been Greensboro, that brings you the latest aquarium news from around the world, all the things Greensboro is missing out on because Greensboro doesn't already have a Downtown Greensboro Aquarium. Get it. Things like this yummy seafood taste test at the NC Aquarium in Pine Knoll Shores that allows local restaurants to bring samples to the aquarium in order to lure customers back to their restaurants.

Something like that would be pretty hard to do during a Broadway play, you think?

Or how the Oklahoma Aquarium is installing a geothermal heating and air conditioning system to replace their old system. Hey, maybe we should start out with a geothermal system?

Know anyone who carves wooden ducks? Found that on the feed as well.

Or how the people of Falmouth love their aquarium so much they're collecting aluminum cans to raise money for improvements. Do you think people in Greensboro could ever love anything that much?

Of course, the stories change from time to time and they're not always good. We won't be building our aquarium with exploding glass tanks I promise, as there are much stronger plastics available. But by checking out It Could Have Been Greensboro on a regular basis you'll soon understand why Greensboro needs and wants a downtown aquarium.

It sure is a good thing we found out that could happen before we built our aquarium. Now we know to design to prevent it from happening.
