The Gift Duck That Keeps on Giving



Happy New Year Philly! Welcome to 2011. It looks just like 2010. Despite the steady drumroll of opposition from citizens, the Ride the Ducks Philadelphia website crows about their presumed March 11th quacking return and splash down on the banks of the Schuylkill River. To read the site, it looks like a done deal. Just go ahead and order your tickets.

Mayor Nutter and his team say they have yet to make a final decision on whether the nuisance attraction will be permitted onto the river. Really? The Philadelphia Inquirer has led the charge against the ill thought out move and in today's paper there was a second scathing editorial on the subject titled Paddling Upstream. Reader's comments seem to agree with the editorial that the city will not benefit from the "gas-guzzling, amphibious, World War II vehicles." Mayor Nutter, can you clarify sir?
