A Signature Destination for Whom?

The spin team at CoFoCoDo has put together this little poster to rally support for their vision of Symphony Woods as “Columbia’s Signature Destination.”

That’s an odd moniker to place on a park that is largely deserted. How many times have you heard someone say, I’ll meet you in Symphony Woods?

Note how many people you see in this poster.

The picture of the green lawn beneath the trees is either a very old photo or someone had fun with Photo Shop. Besides, a green manicured lawn in a forest is hardly a healthy eco system.

This photo is more indicative of how Symphony Woods is doing these days. It was taken after one of our recent windy days.

I also take exception to the statement “We stand to lose our park unless we speak up.” At the very least that is an outright lie. The GGP vision for Symphony Woods is a park that is environmentally healthy, more accessible to the public, has more amenities and adds acres of forested land that will remain undisturbed. After you read about this vision for Symphony Woods you can draw your own conclusion as to whether CoFoCoDo is spreading false information.

A friend once told me that “desperate people do desperate things.” I think CoFoCoDo is getting desperate.

It's amateur hour all over again.
