I have probably driven down Crescent Ridge Road a million times and hundreds since the storm. The foliage and houses blocked the view before the storm, but driving thru there now it seems like you can see forever.

My idea isn't as much of an idea as it is a challenge. I would like to somehow keep this view. I can imagine a clear, cool Autumn day and how pretty that would be with the leaves changing.

I'm not sure how it can be done, but there is a spot right at the peak of the road and it feels like you can see to Birmingham. I would like to see a park there with an unobstructed view.

About the park, I would like to see it honor the heroes of April 27th. I envision plaques with names of the fireman, police, and rescue operations. Also, all the rescue operations that came from out of state. The national guard units. The power companies from out of state. There are countless names that would otherwise go unnoticed.

I like the idea of a continous flame or light that would stand to honor the heart of these people. I would also love include personal stories of heroism throughout the storm and the days after around this flame or light. I like the idea of having the park center around this memorial.

I think this website is a great idea and appreciate everything that is being done.
