Moron,a.k.a. the real Walt Disney,a.k.a. Realist, and others. Forgive me for referring to you as Moron in my last post. Seeing as though you not only possess intelligence but more importantly COMMON SENSE, I will from now on refer to you as Realist. During my lifetime I have met and also worked for individuals with multiple degrees who had the common sense of a brick (please take note of this, Mr. McCrady). Your comment during the meeting at that church was very insulting to a lot of fine folks out here, Frank. Yes, Realist, EMC will recover from this, it will take awhile, but EMC is poised for a natural progression outward from Harris Co. The biggest factor, besides the Houston area being the major oil and gas hub for the nation, is its direct location on the international corridor from Mexico to Canada (the proposed I-69) and its close proximity to Bush Intercontinental Airport. Don Lessums original idea wasn't a bad one but other individuals blew it way out of proportion without having solid financial backing. These "visionaries" as they like to call themselves, from what I understand, claimed other cities were just standing in line waiting to take the first bite out of the sour apple EarthQuest has become. From what I gather,(unfortunately for the citizens of EMC), THIS WAS A LIE. Frank McCrady and the EMCID greedily took that first bite using taxpayer money (that isn't even there) without doing their homework investigating the backgrounds of the snake-oil salesmen selling them on this idea (common sense). These "visionaries", in particular Don Holbrook, sold this "vision" as a Disney-like theme park. Walt Disney,who I might add had very little education, Frank, accomplished his dreams and built his empire over time, a time of unprecidented growth in the American economy. Take a look at reality, folks, the only new businesses on Hwy 59 in the last few years from 1485 to Cleveland are two new flea markets and a Kubota dealership with the John Deere dealership folding and the property up for sale (sound familiar, America?) Frank, those flea-markets will have to sell a ton of soiled mattresses and used bicycles to recoup the taxpayers money you've blown on this project, with a big helping hand(emphasis on the "helping", as in helping himself,) from Don Holbrook. Yes, Our Gain, Holbrook is attempting to foul EMC once again, working for a group trying to bring another gun-range into Mont. Co., problem is there's one 10 mi. traveling West on 242 off of 1314. Hey that's a great idea, let's put a business out of business that's been paying taxes to Mont. Co. for decades! I say keep Don Holbrooks bags unpacked and let him find a way to make a living feeding off the dregs of the over-built, over-taxed, and operating in the red section of the country he lives in, Las Vegas. Read about. I know first-hand what has happened there, I lived there 6 yrs. ago and moved before the area "tanked" That's right, Don, "Think TANK" Let's just hope Freindswood developement will come in and do what they've always done, build a nice community with businesses located in the special retail-zone set aside by the EMCID to at least partially mop-up the mess they've created for their constituents.
