The operable word is "was." JimRob didn't ban him but told him to shut up about passenger rail or he would be zotted. His account still shows active.

LOL. Didn't know that. Some of the threads were at least marginally inforamative. It was always interesting to see the huge number of folks who disagree with subsidized rail (myself included) on the threads.

In NM, they do all that while embracing the expansion of the empire.

Jabba didn't seem to lose much business while Palpatine was in power.

CougarGA7’s name for the New Mexico Spaceport was Los Isley...

Sweet!

Thanks Slim I spent a tour up at the Roundhouse!

If you ever go to the area that was planned for the space port, it actually looks a lot like Tatooine so it definitely is an appropriate name.

[Tijeras_Slim]

So you probably agree it looks like the bar scene. We’ll regard you as Obi Wan.

I’m going to keep using it, just on the off chance that it sticks.

"Los Isley"

Heheheh. I nominate Richardson to play Jefe El Hutt.

I actually like the area around there, there's some nice open ranch land and it's pretty flying country. Too bad New Mexico is running a huge deficit, the spaceport is still a boondoggle, and Los Isley has to make do with county slush funds aka gross receipts tax...

[CougarGA7]

Not to be anal....well, maybe a little. I was spelling it Los Eisley. All the Star Wars Tatooine location start with an ‘e’ (Mos Eisley, Mos Espa, ect).

I will now remove my Star Wars geek hat and return you to your scheduled program all ready in progress.
