$150k requested for Cache River visitors center?

Excerpt from this article:
The Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism is hoping for $ 150, 000 in the Interior and Environment spending bill to construct a visitors center in the Cache River National Wildlife Refuge. Last year’s discovery of the ivory-billed woodpecker there has piqued the interest of a lot of bird-watchers, and Joe David Rice, the state’s tourism director, wants to capitalize on that.

How about a naming contest?

I'll be kind.

I'm thinking of opening a roadside binocular and snack hut somewhere in Florida.

Great idea! You can insure it well for fire then burn it down.

The Cache River is a magnificent natural area worthy of a small visitors center whether or not ibwo is there.
