Extraordinary Eh?

Up     

 

The Detroit River has a new guard rail installed along the bank to keep fishermen away from the edge so it is more difficult to retrieve any fish they may hook.
In this view you can see the Detroit River, (the water on the left), the Ambassador Bridge that heads south into Canada, (a place where people live in igloos), Cobo Hall is on the right, (the place "Kiss Alive" was recorded). The tall pillars on the right are for a monument for People Moving.
This Guard rail is designed to keep the OWNERS of this PROPERTY away from their OWN PROPERTY. I know this sounds kind of strange, but this is what you get when you have GOVERNMENT WORKERS spending money they did not earn.
To me this lock symbolizes the distrust and contempt the spenders of Public Funds have for the Public. "We'll take your money with the promise of PUBLIC ACCESS to the river" But the Politicians never tell you "We'll take your money to LOCK you away from the River Bank"
Gill Hill is president of the Detroit City Council, he has a radio talk show where every one calls him Mr. President. You might recall seeing him in movies such as Beverly Hills Cop. I am sure President Hill's City Council had to approve plans for this Fisherman's Barrier to be erected.
Maybe he figured it was a good place to advertise his campaign for Mayor, where he could do real damage! Too bad the bird did not have a better aim!
   
I do appreciate how the view has improved. This area was a thin long gravel parking lot barely secured by a decrepit chain link fence, what a shambles and eye sore it was, so ...
 

OK ... Maybe I am Going Off the Deep End...

YOU TELL ME ...

Witch view is Superior?

   

The vast majority of the project.

A very small section at the end.

I Like Concrete!

I would like to see the River!
