i wish they could protect the businesses - i don't care about the federal buildings and statures - if they fall, it may be a step to smaller government & fewer local taxes. Statues are nothing more than pigeon perches that we pay taxes to maintain.
I hear you, but there's a statue of my great great great grandfather, or something close to that, at Kittyhawk and I kinda like that. It was a pretty big moment in time that is nice for people to remember. Plus, the city gets a lot of business from all the history there. Sometimes the statues and memories are what creates the business in the first place.
*Not related to the Wright brothers, but 2 of the people that were there for the first flights. Still, I'm sure people related to the Wright brothers, themselves, have similar feelings - along with the local business owners who benefit a lot from the notoriety.
not selling me, i go to many historic places and just to see a statue - this isn't ancient greece. the statue may be nice and people look at it when there, but I'm sure they're not going to kittyhawk to look at a statue and without people would still visit. i bet you tell the stores they get a tax break since they don't need to maintain that statue any longer, they wouldn't miss it ether
People don't go to see empty, overgrown, fields. Even if there are tax breaks, and I don't know if there would be, many of these sites and statues are built and maintained by non profit organizations, volunteers, and donations. Without a monument and someplace for people to go and say - I was there - and take pictures, the tourists will just fall off drastically.
doesn't sound real inviting - an overgrown field with a statue. can't believe the statue is what keeps tourists coming. i'd think some type VR interactive piece would work a lot better. the only vandalism you'd get on that would be from cyber hackers and I doubt they'd bother. imagine seeing a virtual reenactment of the first flight virtually via your phone. or being able to take a photo of you at kittyhawk with the wright brothers virtually behind you. i am sure the savings on maintaining a statue and its grounds would offset the cost of building. you probably won't agree with me, but think it is a big waste of tax dollars to send troops to protect statues - no matter how important the statue is to you personally. is it worth those troops getting blinded by lasers? first it'd be terrible loosing your sight because someone felt a statue was that important and to boot we (taxpayers) get stuck with the medical bill.
