Is this center stage?

If you didn't know already — and who couldn't know after Oct. 27 — Slaughter Pen was "going center stage" Friday. For those who don't know, Slaughter Pen is a Bentonville bike park, so clearly it won't be on a stage. But the Daily Record felt the need to "hammer home" (to use an overused cliche of my own) the metaphor on Saturday's front page. This time, however, it was the Bike Jam, not Slaughter Pen itself, that the paper said "Takes Center Stage." (Note: The change in punctuation is due to changes in style imposed after the merger.) So if Slaughter Pen and its Bike Jam have captured the center of the stage, one has to wonder if there are indeed enough supports to keep the stage from collapsing.
