So you don't have a downtown webcam to look at. Get over it and enjoy the other views we have been given. I personally enjoy his other cameras. Yes it was nice to see downtown but I now enjoy watching the birds on his feedcam. I can see how serious the drought is when I look at the lakecam. I will really enjoy watching the Askacam this summer when there will be people going down the river but enjoy the views right now. As for the river cam this is a special place for me and my family. This is our place on the river and we get to get a view of home everyday when we are not there. It also has a special meaning since when it was installed over the summer my sister-in-law came over with the kids and my brother who was in Afghanistan at the time was able to see them playing in the river. So even if we can't have the downtown cam there is still so much we are able to enjoy even if we are not there personally. Thanks Kip for all you have done and keep up the good work. Merry Christmas to all.
