Inquiring minds want to know
Well here I am at work, it's quiet today...so far. I was talking to my girl friend last night, we had a birthday party for her, she just turned...Well it's not nice to give away a lady's age, so I'll pass on that one. Anyway we were talking about my interests. She lives in North Syracuse, and they have a business development debate going on in the Syracuse area. It's quite complicated and diverse. The project is called Destiny USA. A guy named Robert Congel wants to build this huge mall/entertainment/indoor amusement part on land adjacent to the carousel Mall. It's alledged that it was supposed to have had a ground breaking back in '03, and since then nothing much has happened, except heated debate about if it will take place or not.
Now in my opinion I think something like this would be good for ANY area in New York State given the current condition of our economy. However there are those in the Syracuse area that say the only thing Congel is looking for is another tax break for the carousel, those people are considered the NAYSAYERS, then we have the pro-Destiny crew who say that these things take time, and everything Congel has done up until now is so that when the project comes to fruition, he can give back to the CNY(central new york) area in a big way.
After all why wouldn't a guy who lives here and has raised his family here want to give back to the community.
Well.......I've read at least 2 different news articles about indoor splash(water) theme parks in the Northeast, both have recently been built and are up and operating. One is at the Six Flags Great Escape near Lake George, and the other(the actual name of the park escapes me at the moment) is located near Erie Pa. I also understand they are quite successful and do attract some pretty good crowds. So if Mr. Congel gets his act together, the mall expanding called Destiny USA just might give the CNY area a leg up on things. So I guess it's a wait and see deal as to what happens with the Destiny USA project.
