Real Life Wisdom

Real Life Wisdom

An old cowboy was riding his trusty horse followed by his faithful dog along an unfamiliar road. The man was enjoying the new scenery, when he suddenly remembered dying, and realized that the dog beside him had been dead for years, as had his horse. Confused, he wondered what was happening, and where the trail was leading them. After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall that looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch topped by a golden letter “H” that glowed in the sunlight. Standing before it, he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like gold. He rode toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side. Parched and tired out by his journey, he called out, ‘Excuse me, where are we?’ “This is ranch, Heaven, sir,” the man answered. “Wow! Would you happen to have some water?” the man asked. “Of course, sir. Come right in, and I’ll have some ice water brought right up.” As the gate began to open, the cowboy asked, “Can I bring my partners, too?” “I’m sorry, sir, but we don’t accept pets.” The cowboy thought for a moment, then turned back to the road and continued riding, his dog trotting by his side. After another long ride, at the top of another hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a ranch gate that looked as if it had never been closed. As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book. “Excuse me,” he called to the man. “Do you have any water?” “Sure, there’s a pump right over there. Help yourself.” “How about my friends here?” the cowboy gestured to the dog and his horse. “Of course! They look thirsty, too,” said the man. The trio went through the gate, and sure enough,

The old cowboy, his horse & his dog there was an old-fashioned hand pump with buckets beside it. The traveller filled a cup and the buckets with wonderfully cool water and took a long drink, as did his horse and dog. When they were full, he walked back to the man who was still standing by the tree. “What do you call this place?” the traveller asked. “This is Heaven,” he answered. “That’s confusing,” the traveller said. “The man down the road said that was Heaven, too.” “Oh, you mean the place with the glitzy, gold street and fake pearly gates? That’s hell.” “Doesn’t it make you angry when they use your name like that?” “Not at all. Actually, we’re happy they screen out the folks who would leave their best friends behind.”

long term revitalization strategies, potential funding opportunities, and a path to implementation. While the plan will focus on the traditional downtown core along 1st, 2nd and 3rd Avenues, the success of downtown hinges on its relationship to the rest of the community and region, thus the plan will also address areas adjacent to downtown Glasgow. The success of Glasgow’s Downtown Revitalization Plan lies in the extent to which it fully addresses the values and aspirations of the community. To help guide the plan’s development, a website and accompanying survey have been created to obtain feedback from community members. The survey and further information on the plan can be found at www.planglasgow.com. City leaders want community members involved in identifying what is important to consider in the Downtown Revitalization Plan. Going forward, Two Rivers Economic Growth will host a public open house on Tuesday April 7th from 5:00 – 7:00 P.M. at Soma Dis Deli – 501 2nd Ave. S. The open house will provide community members the opportunity to weigh in on downtown’s assets and priority issues as well as give feedback on preliminary revitalization strategies. More information on the project can be obtained from Stacey Amundson or Robert Kompel with the City of Glasgow at 406-228-2476, or Matthew Rohrbach of Land Solutions, at 206-679-0563.
