Hello All


What part of OHIO do you hail from?

What is the timeline for the casinos in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Akron, etc?
 
Thanks Dye...good to be back.
From the very southern part and since have actually moved back across the river in WV...ugh. Not sure about any of the timelines.
 
I've been hearing some time in 2012. But, there have been several lawsuits for the one in Columbus, and it's been moved. Over/under, I'd say 2.5 years for all of them to be open.
 
I was just thinking about past bash attendees the other day and was wondering where you'd gone. Welcome back....

Well, glad to see you back posting.:cool:

I have often wondered about you and what had caused you to slip away. I will admit to being concerned.:confused:

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.

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.

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

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

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. :cool:

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.

Doesn't make much sense to me either, CP.
