This
just in from the state that fancies itself as bigger and better than
everywhere else: Dallas' airport renovation won't emulate Boise's recent
river-themed remake. Dallas City Councilwoman Angela Hunt is citing the Boise Airport as a
model of what not to be as the city prepares to renovate Love Field. "We're not Boise, Idaho," Hunt said Wednesday. "We don't have to have
this plain vanilla look about our airport. I think we should be proud
of the fact that we've got the cowboy thing going on and the incredible
landscapes to choose from." Hunt's dismissal of Boise, which completed a $108.5 million expansion
of the terminal in 2003, came during a City Council meeting/Dan Popkey, Idaho Statesman. More here. (SR file photo: Dan Pelle)
Question: Would you rate the look of the Spokane International Airport as "plain vanilla," too? Or do you consider it to have an interesting appearance?
