New Zoo Penguin Palace

I am glad to hear they are replacing the old stinky building and hope the new one won't end up being a new stinky building!

$21 million to house the penguins.... I am thrilled to hear they got a nice gift for it, but this will have to be the pimp daddy of all penguin houses.

It is good to see the investment in the place. This will give local young families joy for years to come. I also hope that the zoo can become more of a regional attraction much like the Columbus Zoo.

For $21 million, one of those dual-zone fume extraction systems they have in fancy cigar bars?

Let me tell you, the last time I went to the zoo with my girlfriend, I really wanted to go in the Penguin House, because who doesn't love penguins? Her reaction was "ugh, that place is gross and depressing" and well, yeah. This is pretty awesome news.
