Seattle Times' Steve Kelley: Clock is ticking for city's NBA hopes

Way to kick out the jams Steve Kelley.
Today Kelley beat the trashcan lids to the rhythm of truth, and sang the song of the Key Arena blues.
It's beat, it's aging, and mostly empty.

“Where are the business leaders?” Kelley wants to know. And, "Where is the civic pride?"

Great questions, unanswered for the most part, ignored by too many that insist on calling themselves business, or civic leaders.

I have wondered this as well. As much as Seattle is similar to other towns, in that we have our share of bandwagon fans, and general glory hounds, there are more than our fair share of good and well-to-do citizens that prize themselves as leaders. Somebody has to step up to show public leadership, we have enough back room power brokers in this, but that is rarely enough to make something this big and complex happen.

At some point I was expecting the major sports writers to kick off the conversation with the general public. I thought it would have happened sooner, but those thoughts were rolling around in my head, and some comments here, back before the economy flipped on its head. We are, like it or not, bound to the schedule of the Washington State Legislature.

Thank you Steve Kelley for attending college basketball games in what was a pro basketball arena, and should be again.

Clock is Ticking!

Have a great day,
