Slight Detour: Why Can’t Sandpointers Get Along?

Full post here

With all due respect for Joy, I’d like to see the All-Bonner County Rock Fight become a moot point in Sandpoint. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could finally agree that fighting over a piece of necessary progress so that we and all the other swarms of people we’ve invited here could get along a little better is just not worth it——and move on—-through town with ease. I never liked all the industrial expansion that gradually stole away all our beautiful farm fields and our rural way of life over there west of the airport, but I was also realistic enough to know that it was inevitable. I view the Byway the same way. If we could put all the energy that’s been devoted to fighting about the Byway over the five or so decades into more productive issues, think of what we could do to enhance our lives here/ Marianne Love /Slight Detour.
