What's up man?! I was just asking CP the other day if he'd heard from you and no one had!
Glad you're back!

Well, glad to see you back posting.
I have often wondered about you and what had caused you to slip away. I will admit to being concerned.
I hope all is well with you and your very nice S.O. and we did very much enjoy your company at the last BASH.

Was actually at a presentation yesterday where the PR head for Penn National was speaking about the redevelopment project they've got going for the casino in Columbus...sounds like 2012.FLASH1296 said:
If I understand correctly, they're all going to be urban casinos in Ohio...so that ups the ante on citizen groups, political difficulties, brownfield sites, etc. Construction of the buildings seem to be the "easiest" part of the processes.

Of course, trying to compete in a "fair trade" environment where your competitors face no regulation and pay slave wages, then are allowed to export here tariff free is another huge reason.

And that is exactly why the U.S. has lost it's edge!ChefJJ said:

Apparently it would have been politically easier to develop a large farmland site on the outskirts of town than to take an abandoned, polluted site and clean it up to build a state-of-the-art casino on it. That's a damn shame.creeping panther said:And that is exactly why the U.S. has lost it's edge!

Often they are forced to build in blighted area to then lift that area,,,,never happens. Politics, all BS.

Oddly enough (if I am remembering the story correctly), the original location for the Columbus casino was in the Warehouse District where the hockey arena is...adding onto the entertainment focus of the area. However, there was a lot of community outrage and they had to move to an abandoned factory somewhere else in the city.creeping panther said:
Doesn't make much sense to me either, CP.
