Sandpoint,
ID - Not content with the efforts to destroy all business trade on
First Avenue over the last three years, the City of Sandpoint has
doubled up on its efforts for 2020.
For
the past three summers, city leaders have tried to discourage
business by repeatedly closing and demolishing the main thoroughfare
during the highest periods of tourist activity. This year, the City
seized the opportunity of a fourth demolition by taking advantage of
the national coronavirus shutdown.
At
a meeting of Sandpoint’s COVID-19 Task Force, City Council members
stated that ignoring the city’s vision for First Avenue is simply
unpatriotic. The council also commented that their vision of a
beautiful and wide open First Avenue, free of traffic and the scourge
of capitalism, can only be achieved if we all do our part during this
crisis.
“It
has been our vision all along to make First Avenue feel like a park,
where people can gather for social events and not worry about getting
hit by cars, dealing with pushy merchants, or have trouble finding a
place to eat during high volume times in the summer," a
deep-state source within the council reported. "Our campaign so
far has been somewhat successful, but with everyone being guilted
into doing their part to stop the coronavirus, we thought why not
take advantage of the hysteria and trash the street again, for the
win.”
“First
Avenue sounds too much like First World, and Sandpoint wants to
embrace a diverse world vision. We thought this could be best
achieved if we gave First Avenue a Third World feel, with block after
block of shuttered businesses, open sewage pits, and piles of rubble
lining the demolished street."
City
leaders opined that their vision may be realized if they can prolong
the pandemic through the month of August.
