What do you do with an old power plant?

A Kadizzle reader called in yesterday with a strange proposition.  Make the Coal Creek Power plant into an art gallery.  It would be a one of kind transition.  Kadizzle worked at a huge power plant.  A modern coal fired plant is a big place.  If you turned one into an art gallery it would be a big one.  The concept would be interesting. There is room to display endless art.  Also there is room to allow an infinite number of artist to work in all the space.  Traveling around the U.S. you find little art communities in the strangest places.  There is an old cooper town in Arizona that has become and art center.  During the call Kadizzle got into his rant about how coal mines are reclaimed.  When you reclaim a coal mine you can make many things.  You can make a very nice park, nice lakes, golf courses, an airport, you name it.  When you move all that earth you may as well put it back as something you can enjoy. No, but no, in North Dakota a blizzard wiped out our imagination.  If if was a field of rocks when you started, it should be a field of rocks when you are done.  Creativity somehow does not flourish on he prairie. The prairie gets people used to blank spaces.
