It's become much more a part of the community now. The positive comments from outsiders have helped the community embrace it even more.

We have too many buildings in this town and not enough architecture. There's a real tendency in this community to want everything to look the same. The Strip is allowed to do anything, but once you get off the Strip, there's very little originality.

To have somebody of his caliber in this town can only help the rest of us.

The varying materials come together through the common bond of coming from the earth. The structure, while contemporary in form, appears to have one site for years.

We're certainly pleased to create a positive economic impact for our wonderful community. But we're more delighted to introduce young people to the wonderful sport of cycling.

From my standpoint this is a really healthy, positive, progressive thing that is happening in the community.
