Pirate museum on horizon, sez AJC
AJC says downtown may get pirate museum
OK, I like pirates as much as the next guy. Who among us hasn’t been tempted to silence some blowhard by snarling, “Avast ye, scurvy dog!”
But a pirate museum in downtown Atlanta? That makes about as much sense as us getting a cowboy heritage center or a monument to Arctic exploration.
Unless, of course, your goal is make a quick buck by turning Centennial Park into a theme park with cheesy attractions geared toward unrelated cultural fads. Hmm, now that’s an idea. What about opening the Buffalo Wing Museum? Or the Center for Cell Phone App Research? Or a meercat habitat? (Oops, I forgot Zoo Atlanta recently did that already.)
