Yes. My opinion, only. But, wouldn't it be nice to have some activity downtown? {Activity=revenue}
Certainly more interesting than having a company from Italy or France set up shop here...
"Why settle for hamburger when Cleveland could end up with steak?" asked Cleveland developer, Jeff Jacobs during an exclusive interview with The Plain Dealer at his suburban Cleveland home.
Jacobs is dead on.
Maybe the old-school politicians seemingly entrenched here forever will shut up long enough to think about the $$ potential.
People always have a choice. They can gamble. Or not gamble.

Hi Tom,
Thank you! you are right. It needs to be classy. {Of course it needs to be BUILT first, but that is just a minor detail!

Cleveland better get the steak. Unless we get an enormous niche Casino that dazzles people who want to gamble, the Casino will never survive.
Just like the story about franchising a pizza place. What will make this casino special? It can't be slot parlor. It really has to have big bells and whistles to attract out-of-state money.
I want to see a big casino built on the Lakefront Airport property overlooking the lake with ample free parking.
If they can build a better casino and attract people from out of state. It's alright by me!
Great post Joel!
