Letter to the mayor of Regina, Saskatchewan.....
This is a letter that I am actually going to send to the mayor of Regina, I would have sent it already, but I am pretty sure that he would think that I am completely insane.
I live in a little city called Regina, Saskatchewan, and I know it is boring and needs to get some sort of cultural upgrade to really gain World recognition. I was thinking of some ideas that would accomplish this task when it hit me..... the idea that would really put our city centre stage in the World. So here it is......
wait for it.....
I think we should build a huge monument that would attract visitors from around the World. The monument that I propose would be called "The Leaning Eiffel Tower of Regina." (working title)
Think about it, everyone loves the Eiffel Tower, and everyone loves the Leaning Tower of Pisa. This would combine both into one great Canadian tourist trap. Most likely it will take a few years to really catch on, and someone will be fired from office for making such a wasteful decision, but years from now, the investment will pay off and hundreds of thousands of people will flock to Regina to see this great wonder. I know it sounds crazy, but that is a big part of the charm. People will literally say "I have to see this!!"
The building itself would actually be fairly easy and cheap to create. The Eiffel Tower is mostly just frame, and the one side of the base just has to be made bigger than the other to accomplish the leaning effect. Extra funding could be drawn from the province, the Casino, and various tourist agencies in the area. I would actually consider starting a public fund for this project if I knew how to do it.
Yes, I know this sounds crazy, but aren't all great ideas crazy at first? Las Vegas was created when a man said that he wanted to build a paradise in the middle of the desert, Mount Rushmore was created by a man and some dynamite in the mountains, and let's not forget that the Eiffel Tower itself was almost torn down for scrap metal. I ask you, is the Leaning Eiffel Tower of Regina any crazier than this?
