Challenges to development in Borderland

We need to become a destination and not just a route to Canada. Something has to be built here that can be a draw to the public. It has to be something people can come to 12 months of the year not just 3. It could be another Deadwood, South Dakota with streets paved with fools gold and the hated casino's. Every time I mention that word I get a negative response but it would work. At least I don't give up.

Why should they care, when the two major sources of income are, Boise and Welfare!! I still think an outlet mall would be a wise choice. I know it would take a major cash outlay for some corporation, but I think people would come from Canada and other areas to shop for name brand items!! Just an idea that won't leave my little brain!!

Well kay, for starters we don't want it in Kabatogama. We don't want outlet malls and we want to keep our good smelling air just the way it is, sweet smelling and good. Besides we have all the gambling we need with pull tabs and Bingo at the community center. I mean, what more could we want? We have one gas station, a new restruant with high speed computer access, one marine shop, one bait shop, one church, one community center and a grumpy 93year old fishing guide. Now I ask you, what more will a casino do for Lake Kabetogama? Besides, we don't even need a Wal Mart or a K Mart because every August all the Norwegians and Finnlanders put every thing they don't want out in their yards and trade it to each other in something they call a community yard sale and we get to see every thing everybody else has in their houses. Its better then any common outlet mall. You folks way up north in the Falls have funny way of doing business. I mean I even heard you won't let your children use floatees at the city beach. I guess you want them to learn how to swim the "ole fashion way" sink or swim!
