Kudos to The Philadelphia Inquirer for doing a splendid job of keeping the Duck Boat dilemma on the front burner in editorials and articles over the last 6 months. Now the time is drawing nigh for Mayor Nutter to make his decision on this thorny issue, even as the Ride The Ducks website still promises touch down on the Schuylkill in March.
In today's Inquirer, Karen Heller writes, in her thoughtful article String Bands On The River? , that "Philadelphia deserves more than generic duck tours offered elsewhere". She suggests "....a tour unique to Philadelphia....Imagine a (mummers) string-band serenade on a moonlit cruise. Philadelphians would take that tour. Tourists would flock to that ride....the Schuylkill becoming our own Seine."
Now there's a great idea! Mayor Nutter, are you listening?
