And even if there was, it's not like there's a whole lot we can do about it now other than maybe file this away for the next time a convention center expansion is proposed. I sure hope all the CMs that subscribe to this forum will do so... Meanwhile, it seems our mayor is on the right track for supporting a condo/hotel refurbishment of Ivy Tower as opposed to a 1,200 room hotel that convention folks reportedly want at that site. http://www.skywaynews.net/articles/2004/05/17/news/news02.txt Mark Snyder Windom Park REMINDERS: 1.
