QUOTE What do you know about the airport Self Burnished? Anything? Bolster your argument show us how smart you are. Well let's see, I suppose I could go into how small po'dunk towns don't have airports because, well, they're po'dunk hillbillies, probably inbred. That's probably pushing the boundaries of comprehension for you so we'll keep it simple. Airport=prosperity, no airport=you have a hot date tonight, with your sister. You remind me of a neighbor kid I knew growing up, always fun to talk him into pissing on an electric fence. Is that enough "bolstering" for you 
That's a lot of po'dunks from a guy whose first kiss from a girl was probably some kind of farm animal.

Albert Lea's airport sits idle because Albert Lea is a non-destination. Anything of note that made Albert Lea otherwise is long gone. That town was circling the drain, prosperity-wise, when Austin seemed like a much better place to live. And the aforementioned rubber-stamping of everything proposed by the City Manager has been going on since Paul Sparks. THAT certainly worked out well.
Back in the heyday, Owatonna and Faribault COMBINED didn't match Albert Lea's population. Now look. They boom, while this town still, after how many decades, struggles with what to do with its proximity to the intersection of two of the biggest highways in North America.
Before you can tout being a destination, you have to actually be a destination. I'm sure someone in local government will recommend some $50,000 study that arrives at the same conclusion.

^^ exactly 
And it's not just Faribault and Owatonna, Rochester and especially Mankato, these towns are all proof that Albert Lea has missed the bus and is grossly mismanaged.
So what the hell do you do? Is crime increasing? Are lowlife and malcontents moving in? (Hymen and Expat come to mind) Sounds like a city in desperate need of a leadership change, just like our country.

^^I agree, a amusement park might be just want southern Minnesota needs.
A decent one, not some half-assed attempt. Preferably privately owned.

Historical flooding at Blazing Star Landing..
Lets put some residential and commercial properties lakeside.. 
I will continue to say that the planning done in this town continues to be a waste of money..
Albert Lea must hire people in the planning department that are really only qualified to smoke pot.. Yo Dude..

What is the only part of town that didn't flood NW?
I thought I saw something like that reported at the paper site.
