		Each competing commercial venture has endeavored for months to convince city and state officials that its concept is the long-overdue winner destined to revitalize a sorely neglected place on the city's horizon.
		As fortunate as Prague is to have such willing commercial partners and investors, perhaps the promoters of such ventures should bear in mind that talk is cheap: Over the past half-century or so, a host of others have gone before, each proclaiming its vision should be the crowning grace to top Letná hill.
		Relocate the metronome and build the tourist attractions at ground level, otherwise, in future, tourists and residents of Prague will only get to view and enjoy the natural beauty of Letna (and other such natural sites) in pictures in museums and on old postcards.
