What's Behind Door #1, #2 Or Door #3?



$25,000,00!! This is what was budgeted after the building was already well under construction for interior doors that were supposed to look like the original doors on the Old Station 16.

OK, for whatever it's worth, but, can someone please tell me why anyone in their right mind would spend $25,000.00 on recreating something without painting a mural of the Old Station 16 on the walls to the left or right of these doors? It just doesn't make any sense to me?

I could also see if these were exterior doors in the front of the building, even if for decoration. However, it makes no sense to waste that much of the taxpayers money on doors that without the photo I've provided above, you would have probably never realized just what the heck they're for and or perhaps what they even cost YOU the Taxpayer!

Oh, trust me, there's more to come.........

That doesn't resemble the old fire station at all. What a f##king waste of tax dollars. What stupid idiot approved that. Everyone involved in that ought to be fired or recalled.

I have not seen the final design, but there may be a photo such as this nearby. The department hired a graphic designer to decorate and display photos and video images that have been gathered. They have hit one snag with the lights on the current station. The historical group in the city would not allow the current decorative lights to be removed. Therefore a similar style will have to be purchased. Once the lights are attached, I think it will look alot more like the old station.

You mean they want to spend more money on this Elephant in the Living Room? You dumb f'ks need your heads examined, that is if you can get them out of your collective butts.

The department hired a graphic designer? Good God don't these people know how to think for themselves? No wonder the taxpayers have been ripped off for $10 million. Christ sakes get over yourselves please.

We have an engineer right on the city council ROFLMAO That idiot couldn't engineer a nose picking contest.

But the historical group allowed the removal of the old fire bell.

No you're wrong. A nose picking contest isn't that hard to engineer. First the nose must be removed from the "a" hole, then it's a piece of cake. (he said with a grin, as he wiped off his chin)

The bell belonged to the fire department. The names and dates of those who bought it were stamped on it. It would have been a shame to leave it behind and it's money well spent.
