The Fate of Sligo Creek Golf Course

January 11th, 2008 | Category: Development,NIMBY

Sligo GCDid anyone go to the meeting last night at the Margaret Schweinhaut Senior Center about the fate of Sligo Creek GC? I know Bonifant More Sinister than Thayer was there, but he was probably just playing bingo with his buddies – as he usually does three or four nights a week.

There was some traffic on the listserv last night about the meeting, asking people to show up “in droves to protest the addition of a lighted, two-tier driving range,” as well as the mini-golf course. I, for one really want the lighted, two-tiered driving range, and I know a lot of other people do, too. (They indicated as much on the listserv.) Any updates from the meeting would be much appreciated.

Thayer Avenue Census Information
One our very own Thayer Residents has compiled a fantastic report on the demographics of Thayer Avenue from 2000 census data. If I can tear myself away from Guitar Hero and Call of Duty 4 long enough over the weekend, I’ll have the full report ready next week. Fascinating stuff, so stay tuned.

    I don’t play “real” golf, so I don’t really care either way about the driving range, but if the mini-golf courses are still part of the package, I’m 100% behind it.

    So, “Mr. I Have My Own Game of Mini-Golf”– I was actually out on the 6th fairway making nude sand sculptures in the sand traps.

    So, Bonifant, were you nude, or were the sand sculptures? If it was the former, how’s that chafing working out for you?
