| I agree with Detector. Come on RH18 and Mike B! Haven't you guys beaten this to death? It is a shame that you are narrow minded about the ability to draw people to Dodge. I just had a sales rep from Chicago today that was thrilled he was in "Dodge City". That is about all he could talk about. He wanted to know more about our history. Sadly, too many people that live in Dodge don't even know the real history or have no interest in knowing what happened during the late 19th Century into the early 20th Century. If you really studied our history you will find yourself in awe as you walk about town.
Yes...there were heros and desperatoes and ladies of the night. There were also good wholsome families that built empires.
Let's go ahead and build the SEC and bring more 'tourist' into Dodge. Let's give them something to see and hear and learn while they are here. BootHill is a start but let's take it further
I was born in Dodge almost sixty years ago. I have lived in a lot of other cities but came back 'home'. The largest embarrassment I have had was that of people bickering over the SEC and wanting Dodge to revert to the sleepy ole town that it will never be.  |
