Windsor Is "SportsCity"
The excitement is certainly building in Windsor to a fever pitch for the WWE WrestleMania extravaganza.
Surprisingly, it did not cost Windsor hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money to be involved either as we had to spend in Detroit for Super Bowl.** But then again, Roger Penske is not involved, no trips to Florida to preview the event, no big parties, no rubbing elbows with the glitterati.
I saw the most recent Press Release issued outlining the events that will take place here. Aren't they exciting! I hope that police are on hand to direct all of the traffic at the Via Station. I wonder if a brewery will be sponsoring that train too.
And just so you know, that special event with the Mayor....It will be an arm wrestling contest with Tecumseh's Mayor Gary McNamara to see who can get money out of the Provincial Liberals first for their arena! By the way, I hear that Eddie has made a deal to be announced before the fall election.
Our Mayor is certainly getting into the spirit of things and is making Windsor "SportsCity!" [I created that tagline for free. No need to hire a consultant for it]. How did I think of the name---Easy. It was so SimpliCity.
Money for wrestling and the Spitfires, money for culture but not for Brentwood. What a bizarre state of affairs in this City. I wonder if taxpayers agree
**Correction--the Star reported that "Windsor, which will hold a number of pre-events [are] sponsored to the tune of $60,000 from the local Convention & Visitors Bureau. I'll tell you how it was done too in another BLOG!
