The coal-pile proposal has not been dropped. The article below explains why the project is "wounded but not dead."

A few days ago, an article appeared in the business section of the Ames DAILY TRIBUNE in which (I think) it was stated that the City of Ames and ISU would like the project to go forward because they would benefit financially. Sorry, I couldn't find a link to that newer article.

"Then as to scenery...while I know the standard claim is that Yosemite, Niagara Falls, and the upper Yellowstone and the like, afford the greatest natural shows, I am not sure but the Prairies and Plains, while less stunning at first sight, last longer, fill the aesthetic sense fuller, precede all the rest, and make North America's characteristic landscape." (Walt Whitman)
