Should the city save the Fintry Queen?

Re: Interest in the Fintry Queen growing

That is great news to hear because the Fintry Queen is part of the history of the Okanagan Lake and the city of Kelowna.

If it is destroyed, it is gone forever and that would certainly be a shame. 

I don't understand why the city doesn't show an interest in preserving it. Sure it owed moorage charges and the owner has said that around $100,000 could take it.

For goodness sake, we paid $80,000 for the dumbest logo that the designer says he got the inspiration from a pine cone.

Tell me just how many people that walk in the woods pick up a pine cone and say ""My goodness, that is the exactly what the new logo for Kelowna looks like"

Give me a break already, at least the sails logo said something about the city and even tourists could identify with it.

Further to the city, we spend much more on the constant studies that are undertaken and other goofy things, why not put up the money and purchase the Fintry and save some heritage?

It can be a museum or a restaurant without putting all those mega bucks that we throw at everything else.

Years ago when the old post office was torn down on the corner of Pandosy and Bernard, there was a cry as to why did we destroy that beautiful heritage building.

For goodness sakes city fathers and staff, do not let that happen to the Fintry.
