??? Not sure what that means, the dollar barrier?

@Tough_Boots Hey, when I posted that, 8 or 9 years ago, I didn't expect it would gain the traction it did, and was just pissed I was getting the ticket that should have been sent to the driver that was passing me, and all the other cars in that column! How was I to know it would go on this long? I just went for a catchy title, or something.


Actually, I get a little annoyed I see it after all these years, since I started it, and it keeps popping up!

FYI - Halvorson is the main player in the GCNP noise-maker biz, and owns IMAX , the Squire Inn, the water? company, all in Tusayan.
Why did the town council vote to increase the height? Of the 5 council members, Mayor Greg Bryan manages the Squire inn, and two other town council members also work for Halvorson companies. A fourth council member, Vice Mayor Cecily Maniaci, operates restaurants in buildings she leases from Halvorson.
