Comments on: Fort McHenry’s New Visitor Center Moves forward http://www.baltimoregrows.com/2007/09/07/fort-mchenrys-new-visitor-center-moves-forward/ Real estate, development, and life in Baltimore Maryland Fri, 06 Jan 2012 01:02:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Glen http://www.baltimoregrows.com/2007/09/07/fort-mchenrys-new-visitor-center-moves-forward/comment-page-1/#comment-136 Glen Sat, 08 Sep 2007 00:26:02 +0000 http://www.baltimoregrows.com/2007/09/07/fort-mchenrys-new-visitor-center-moves-forward/#comment-136 Cham - good to here another point of view on this subject. Last time I was there it seemed nice enough, but I assume the new one will be "better and bigger". Whether it's needed or not is another story. Will the new center bring in more $? Will it lead them to increase admission? That would be a problem. Cham – good to here another point of view on this subject.

Carlsbad VC stinks, literally. Mt. Rainiers Vistor's Center looks down right creepy and could definitely use some work. Shenandoah's Panorama Visitor's Center has been shuttered for years due to asbestos and there are no plans on the books to do anything about it. I found out the hard way there is no cohesive communications network between Visitor's Centers over at Crater Lake. Funding is so bad at several parks that there are limited hours and limited services. The Wilderness Office over at the Olympics operates out of a trailer whose roof leaks. Ft. McHenry has a perfectly good Visitors Center now with nary a flaw or repair needed. But we have Senator Cardin and all him power and might, and he wants a new center in a different place, so he is getting one. Perhaps this is a rare case where the squeaking wheel perhaps should squeak a little less.
