OPINION — At the March 9 P&Z meeting, an individual delivered an intriguing public comment: “We have a Dark Sky Discovery Center bringing visitors. Seek out businesses that complement that with telescopes on rooftops. Or alien entrees and cocktails. Be creative.”
Why shouldn’t Fountain Hills have a Saturnian Steakhouse? I asked AI to generate a menu image, replete with Cosmic Cocktails and a 24 oz Plutonian Porterhouse. I would love to hear more community members brainstorm ideas for creative commerce and Dark Sky
synergy. Flagstaff, for example, is home to the Dark Sky Brewing Co. and its beer garden. Establishments and brands like this appeal to night sky tourists.
