Neither the cops nor the AVTA people seemed to care...It's really too bad, because I really enjoyed it...the trail, not the tailgaters.Dittmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00759621744813019807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29021827.post-38784798803609531622007-07-10T23:21:00.000-04:002007-07-10T23:21:00.000-04:00As a resident of Ohio with my heart in PA, I feel...As a resident of Ohio with my heart in PA, I feel compelled to say it is the bike trail that brought us to your fair city many, many times a year. Those who have chosen to block portions of the trail have done so for very selfish reasons. A problem that is typical on most trails unless people take the time to research the facts, rather than fabricate delusions in their own minds. Yet there is plenty of trail left to enjoy and the detour is only a reminder of other types of people who make the world what it is.<BR/><BR/>Not only do we stop in the trail office and leave a donation when we visit, we eat and shop in the local stores, have been to the Barrow, Applefest and the Farmer's Market on a regular basis. <BR/><BR/>We have camped at Two Mile so many times in the past 3-4 years now I wouldn't even attempt a guestimate, and are devastated by the lost opportunity. Now when we come to use the bike trail, we have no place to stay and extend our visit, consequently less need for the restaurants, stores and businesses where we were regulars. For our family the area is moving from a destination to a "stop on the way".<BR/><BR/>Your assets to us are better than Disneyland, and given the option of heading towards Cedar Point, Geauga Lake (very near our house), Kennywood, or in the past Conneaut Lake (our favorite), my kids always chose Two Mile for the Bike Trail, some Vocelli's Pizza, the tunnels and the Belmar Bridge!<BR/><BR/>Here's hoping "taken for granted resources" in the future are seen for what they really are, and the "over-all" picture is viewed closely by those in power, and those who elect the power.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29021827.post-220697659693198682007-07-08T11:42:00.000-04:002007-07-08T11:42:00.000-04:00And let that be a lesson to you, boys and girls, t...And let that be a lesson to you, boys and girls, to always proofread your work before you hit "publish"...Peter Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16511193640285760299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29021827.post-80296140946465830912007-07-08T01:22:00.000-04:002007-07-08T01:22:00.000-04:00Mr. Greene!

I would have never....ever, guessed that I might have read something like this in your writing: "and while I try to see most sides of an issue, I can’t really see there’s."<BR/><BR/>I remember, distinctly, an English class where we were yelled at (scolded, slightly reprimanded?) for a "their" and "there" switch!
