What About Parking?

Some people are asking what about parking at the Downtown Greensboro Aquarium and that my friends is a very valid question. For starters, as we are proposing to place the aquarium on the abandoned city owned site at the southeast corner of Lee and Elm, parking will be incorporated into the project. But that probably won't be enough parking.

So I was thinking why not arrange regulated, privately owned shuttle services between the aquarium and other local attractions like the Greensboro Natural Science Center, the North Carolina Zoo in Ashboro, Old Salem in Winston-Salem, Company Shops in Burlington, the NC Transportation Museum in Spencer, the Tank Museum in Danville and more. Doing this could build an entire new local transportation industry and jobs centered around the aquarium that would bring growth to the entire Piedmont Triad and beyond. The aquarium shuttles could also be used as mass transit for locals going to and from Greensboro thereby reducing Greensboro's and the region's publicly funded mass transit needs in the future.

But what would I know, I'm just a fish. Anyway, these are just some of the thoughts that are swimming in my head as I swim through Greensboro looking out from Buffalo Creek and wondering how it ever got this bad with all you smart people in charge and hoping no one pulls that fallen Time-Warner cable from the creek and cuts me off from the Internet and the rest of Greensboro.
