Maybe Lakeport Landing Marina can make a legal argument that it deserves a property tax discount based on the value/cost it incurred to cherish, protect, and preserve the three fire station garage doors, and the fire station tower within the new building as an historical link to the old Lakeport Landing Fire Station and host an annual fire station remembrance day.

So, what's an annual fire station remembrance day look like, and how come just a few 11x14" framed photos, showing the old building, and the fire personnel, along with an old fire hose nozzle and such, displayed at the new huge fire station or at the library, wasn't good enough? So basically, in 2018, the city said no to a Big Island girl's summer camp, and said yes to three, old, dark red, overhead garage doors that don't do anything, and are just there.

Oh well, old-timers can gather in the three old garage doorways and reminisce about some long ago 5-alarm fire and ring the old fire bell and hang out and chug-a-lug quarts of Schlitz Beer ..... the beer that made the Lakeport Fire Station famous ..... just remember that fire back on April 1, 1961 .... chug-a-lug .... chug-a-lug .... back when a six of Schlitz in cans went for $1.25 ..... those were the days .... chug-a-lug .....

Make it an annual event for the first Tuesday in August ....... here's to Fire Station Remembrance Day! ...
