Dancing water fountains are a drain on Shreveport
 

Dancing water fountains are a drain on Shreveport's funds and resources

Gotta keep the masses satisfied. :D

Shreveport Times trying to find something to print in that lame tabloid :laugh:

I like the fountains! I also liked the lights on the Texas St bridge which seem to be in need of maintenance. I guess that was a drain too. Why start new projects if you can't maintain old ones? Oh well...

Hey, leave the fountains alone. There are too many kids enjoy playing in there during the hot weather. If you look close there are some adult [kids] there too.:peace:

They sure piss a ton of money off on Sci-port :nono: That place is a boondoggle :mad: Can someone at SBL find a financial report on that place ? What a wast of money, my tax money :mad:

I happen to like Sci-Port given the fact that we aren't exactly in a hotbed of science around here. It is a lone oasis in a sparce desert. Everything around here seems to be based on gaming, medical, or oil & gas.

When I was a kid growing up in Shreveport, we often took "field trips" to the planetarium and places like that. I think Sci-Port gives students a good place to go to. I often see classes of students there in the mid morning when I drive past. I'd rather see that than see our tax money make the Hilton's a dollar richer.

rhertz you have a good point there. I am for the kids not for the wasted tax dollars that is all. I would still like to know how much money went into that place ???

I dunno much about tax dollars, but I can tell you that kids are a constant waste of money! Very expensive to own and operate! ;) ;) ;) Sorta like Porche that you grow instead of buy.

But OH did you have fun gettig them here. But I do think sci-port is good for the kids. We have went several times. kids enjoy it.

Sci Port also receives a lot through private donations as well. It's a great place for kids to learn. The exhibits should probably be updated more frequently in order to increase return visits thus more income. It's the only problem I see at the place. Same thing every time we go.

True, even if it was accidental at times! ;) ;) ;)
