Mayor Cook Says Downtown Is Key To City's Renaissance

EL PASO, Texas -- One word dominated El Paso Mayor John Cook's 2011 State of the City speech: Renaissance.

"With the key strategies of reviving our downtown, protecting and enhancing our parks and open space, and improving mobility, we've made great strides during our cultural and economic Renaissance," Cook said.

Cook then spoke about the Downtown Renaissance that began with the Plaza Theatre's restoration.

"Any city that is in search of Renaissance must have plans that include a vibrant Downtown," Cook said. "The Downtown is already becoming a happening place where a new generation will make memories that will last a lifetime. I'm reminded of Petula Clark's lyrics (to the song 'Downtown')."

Cook, famous for taking his guitar and singing at some of his speeches, spoke the Downtown lyrics rather than singing them.

"Don't worry, Richard (Dayoub, president of Chamber of Commerce), I'm not going to break out my guitar and sing even though our Downtown is becoming something to sing about," Cook said.

Cook's speech also included talking about the Borderland's economic impact.

"The Greater El Paso region is the center for economic activity in West Texas, Southern New Mexico and Northern Mexico," Cook said. "As the 19th largest city in the U.S., and with more than 2.3 million people within a 50-mile radius, El Paso represents one of the largest international borderplexes in the world. El Paso's county-wide population has grown to more than 800,000. That's more than a 17 percent increase since 2000. And according the UTEP Borderplex forecast, our economy is expected to reach $23.4 billion in 2011.

Do the singing like you’re a star with Jive Records on stage at Madison Square Garden with the £9.99 Sing-A-Long Tongs? Yes, you heard right….

It’s a pair of tongs designed for you to sing songs! Not really, though…. They’re just shaped like a microphone. With the tongs closed, you have the perfect piece for your performance, singing along with Britney Spears or Godsmack or whatever it is you like to listen to on the radio. It’s also dishwasher safe for those times you gnash your teeth singing that Emo music and spit all over the top of it. In addition, the silicone-covered tips on the metal tongs themselves are heat resistant up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, so don’t worry: you’re set for your full-on concert without the worries of exiting the stage after the first song.

You might definitely be the entertainer as well as the chef of the crowd with your performances while you cook for any dinner crowd! Work your audience and get them to wave their hands, maybe put up a few lighters while you serenade them all in a sweeping embrace of romantic, hot rock ballads. Or if you like moshers, make sure your guests move away from the table and get them stomping and thrashing their heads. Whatever style you prefer, remember, you’re the queen or king on the stage–and your audience are your loyal subjects!

Enjoy this product in the kitchen, not only for the cuisine, but for the music couture that envelopes you in your dreams, your voice like an angel to the public! Be the singing cook with the Sing-A-Long Tongs.
