It is changing, but things are changing all over, the same way. I talked to a guy from Bend, Oregon recently, and that community is going thru crazy changes, too.<BR/><BR/>Hey, Ms. Jinx...The Ironman is one of several events which render CDA virtually impassable (untransportable?) in the summers. Last year, at the Ironman, I parked at NIC and sat on the Seawall playing guitar as the exhausted athletes run (or straggled) along. Last year, it was hot and miserable even around 8:30-9PM. I ran marathons, but I have no idea how one runs a marathon after biking and swimming. <BR/><BR/>I guess, in response to both of you extremely kind commenters, CDA just didn't feel like home to me anymore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16751830.post-57035088066055127192007-06-25T16:57:00.000-07:002007-06-25T16:57:00.000-07:00the ironman was this weekend.Town so packed you co...the ironman was this weekend.<BR/>Town so packed you couldn't get around without zig zagging all over the place.<BR/>This year the bikers went up and down Gov't way.<BR/>I ended up as a volunteer and had a good time.Jinxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02746271857621764648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16751830.post-34995502090126903492007-06-25T16:05:00.000-07:002007-06-25T16:05:00.000-07:00In some most ways the Coeur d'Alene you remember w...In some most ways the Coeur d'Alene you remember with such fondness is already gone.<BR/><BR/>Even in the six years we've been here we've seen it change from a still somewhat sleepy resort town to bigger and more is better and all the devisiveness that goes with it.<BR/><BR/>It's sad.
