Subject: RE: BS: Ideas-Arts/Culture Ctr for Touri/Locals
Well, it would be of interest to me, if I were ever to get to Juneau. I'm not really big on hiking, but a bit of local culture is great. Of course you are asking a self-selected group here -- whether the average Joe Blow tourist would feel the same way is an interesting question. But surely there would be SOME interest, especially if the JACC advertised itself well enough -- including in advance on the ships.
Seems to me that it might want to be a bit of a local museum as well as a shop and performance venue. I think a lot of folks want to find out a little (probably not a lot) about the history and culture of places they visit.
