re: Lamar: We want to HELP: -- AN IDEA |

Hi Lamar.
I have an idea. It is a way to start small with little or no capital and with or without the active support of a large number of Middletowners and it would be in keeping with the smalltown atmosphere.
That is why I asked whether there were things currently in Middletown that would attract visitors to it in addition to the visitor center. Things that do not exist in Calistoga.
In one of Althea's posts, she pointed out reasons that outsiders are attracted to Calistoga and not Middletown. That is the location. Another is there are things to do that tourists/visitors enjoy.
So what if people had a reason for coming to Middletown. What if there were a regular tour bus/van that shuttled people from Calistoga to Middletown, creating an extra outing/event for Calistoga visitors. The tour could start with as little as once a week.
You said that Middletown and Calistoga are only 15 minutes from each other. There is already a shuttle van company in Middletown that might be interested in participating.
This could lead in several directions or stay small.
More importantly:
(1) it would get the town into action
(2) without requiring a large amount of support or money
(3) it will enable you and others to determine the feasibility for expanding this into other areas; an opportunity to gain support
(4) and it would also bring some revenues into the town
Any thoughts?
