I look at a map and see what's going on. Every symbol on a map is there for a reason. Symbols show lakes, rivers, trails, major intersections, population, railways, county seats, airports, etc. The more symbols that accompany a city indicate that there is more happening in that community. We want choices, variety, quality, and activity.
Airports are paths to the future.
I certainly am no psychic. I do believe that the world is going to continue to get smaller. I do believe that air travel will continue to become more accessible and necessary to more people, such as golfers, bikers, campers, horseback riders, trail users, friends, relatives, car buyers, convention and conference attendees, doctors and specialists, educators, and so on. The list of potential future airport users is endless. We just had a single car garage moved out and are having a new two-car garage built.
