As soon as I heard they had scaled back from design 1, I knew it was done and over. Either you have the cash to do it, or you don't. It's so stupid that someone wouldn't provide funding here. It's the most prime real estate on the whole entire canal....the only honest to goodness "corner" on the thing and we still have a green wall instead of a building.

Personally, I'm glad they never built the opry there. I thought it was a waste of space. But Cotton was perfect. It had ever element I wanted in a structure for that location....which is why it failed...because it was perfect.

We need some other business-savy person to come in and self-lead like JDM did. He's got the cash to do what he wants, and the know-how to do it right from the start. If only we had more McKean's out there.
