Bee gets it right, the city of Fresno won't

The Fresno Bee chimed in with their opinion on the Gateway Ice Center likely closing.

The Bee believes it is a bad deal for the city and they should look for an alternative. I tend to agree. But the problem is, the Bee is relying on the City of Fresno to come up with a better alternative.

Yes they should come up with another alternative - I really like the idea to put a rink in Manchester Center - but that relies on the city to actually do it. I don't think they will.

Fresno's track record for parks and recreation is terrible. Probably the worst in the nation. Developers have been telling Fresno what to do for years and still are - developers don't make money by building parks.

So the chances of the city to find an alternative ice rink for Fresno is pretty unlikely. I'm afraid once Gateway closes, so does Fresno's place to skate.
