IT'S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL: Llewellyn Werner, a developer based in Los
Angeles, Calif., has big plans for a $500 million amusement park -- in
Baghdad, Iraq. The 50-acre Baghdad Zoo and Entertainment Experience
will completely surround the existing Baghdad Zoo, where only 35 of its
700 animals survived the invasion and war. The complex is outside the
American-protected "Green Zone", but Werner isn't worried about attacks
by insurgents. "They'll see it as an opportunity for their children
regardless if they're Shia or Sunni," he says. "They'll say their kids
deserve a place to play and they'll leave it alone." The first phase of
the development, a skateboard park, is already under construction.
(London Times) ...There's one skateboard park where there will be no
problem convincing riders to wear a helmet.
