KEEP THE FUCKING ZOO OPEN

[WTFchris]

The zoo isn't in huntingwoods. I drive on 10 mile everyday past the zoo and the welcome to huntington woods sign is where the golf course begins.

Actually, after looking on our system, it is in both:



The gate is in Royal Oak, but the address does not work. Wierd.

I went to the Zoo last year.




What great space for the Pistons to biuld a new stadium.

And you swear he doesnt ask to be bullied UC.

Chill, crackie. He's trying to be funny, and that was the funniest thing i've seen in a while.




Sheesh, get over it.



OH yeah, and fuck closing the Zoo.
I havent been to the zoo in a long while, but if someone said lets go, hell i'm in. Why does the city get any say in this, if it isnt even in Detroit? Can someone answer that for me? Is it because they run it?

Mdot is a state agency run by a black woman. They don't handle the smart bus or any other bus service. They do road/bridge construction and handle the roads. Matter of fact, it is not easy to get a job there unless you're black or a woman. They don't hire many white males. Anyway, this has been going on for years and since Detroit wants to play hardball, they don't get many road improvements. Its their loss. Not the state of Michigan.

Closing the Zoo doesn't make any damn sense. If it's hurting the budget then they should hike up the price to get in, get food, get toys ETC. until they make money off of it. They have a monopoly, it's not like you can just say they're too expensive and go look at the polar bears at the other local zoo or something.

Maybe they should add other shit to the zoo as well. Make it like a theme park or something. The excitement would boost the income.



Honestly though, how dumb do politicians have to be to have a monopoly on a popular market and lose money on it?

dinasaurs would help. unless something went terribly terribly wrong... which almost certainly would happen.

Ask Amtrak. Or about 50 other agencies with income potential. Ask why public schools are auctioning off their food services. Government has too many people to appease to make profit.

The US Postal Service isn't doing too hot either.

Their is no doubt that the Zoo can make money. They charge an arm and a leg to get in + parking. The problem is that everyone that works for the zoo qualifies for a city employee and they get big money for doing stupid jobs like selling hot dogs. I had a friend back in high school work for the zoo and he was making $10 hour and this wasn't recently.

Shit, i'm workin for the zoo.
