As I have strolled uptown, and chatted with folks, they have all seemed to like the new webcam as a way of keeping in touch with the doings downtown while they are away at work, or even on vacation. The traffic numbers have suggested folks are checking in several times a day. In fact on election day, it appears more folks may have checked the webcam than voted.
Some have wondered if it would be possible for the camera to be repositioned so it could swivel every two minutes, first to West Main and then to East Main. Or----the ultimate fantasy---positioned on the UBT clock, and covering the best of West, East, North and South. This little change for only a modification of the swivel base. In one fell swoop computer viewers could cover the best of West Main, the best of Pete's Inn, the Best of City Hall and the Best of the Night Owl. Wow. What an entertainment bargain.
I have tried to dampen the hopes of citizens. I have told them of the possible cost of a swivel base. Maybe $50. I love the idea. I think of it as the "Premium" package. Citizens would probably have to tell city hall of their desire for "Premium" for this to happen. Stay tuned.
