Concentrate on making Trashmore tourist site

Let's start thinking of all the positive things we have at Mount Trashmore. For one, when finished, it will be one of the highest points around with a beautiful view of the entire city and Cedar Valley. It is a historic monument to Cedar Rapids and the Parlor City's past.

It can become one of Cedar Rapids greatest tourist attractions with a park and picnic areas, an overlook for picture taking and many other possibilities. It can't happen overnight; it takes time to settle a landfill. Let's drop the trash talk and concentrate on the possibilities we have to make this our best tourist attraction and beautiful park area. McGregor has one at Pikes Peak and does very well.

I think Cedar View Heights would be a great name for our historical monument. If you have a better name, let's hear it.
