From a completely self serving perspective, as is clearly the case at the PD, a casino and 1,000s of additional visitors to Cleveland a week may equal some increased newspaper sales - especialy to overnight guests - and some increased advertising revenues, from the gambling side of the house. But, I think, just as with the guests, the PD will be a loser with casinos, as the overall effective regional economy will shrink, as the region is now less desirable to all but those seeking convenient casino gambling and such trite window dressing as Gilbertland.

Who would want to send their kid to Case now, for example.

Goldberg has made the PD into a low class, unlawful product - NEO into a low class, unlawful region. I now expect the worst from the PD, Goldberg and Egger, each day.

I want to see an investigation of any past personal relationships between Gilbert and Goldberg - I didn't realize they have history. That should have been disclosed.

As for the Towpath - Ed Hauser is spinning.

Disrupt IT

I think a lot of Cummins' supporters are pro towpath and other "green agendas".  I am not against building a nice community but I agree that the basics need to be taken care of first before adding the frills. 

Personally, from my perspective, I would rather see new sidewalks on Fulton Rd., trimming of bushes that extend onto public sidewalks, and trash clean-up around public areas, such as the Boys and Girls Club, Lincoln High School, and other public areas in my ward, before tow path trails are built. 

I am sure the areas around Imperial Avenue have similar needs. 

The problem is that some citizens think that adding frills will solve the problems by making the areas that are more visible to outsiders look nice and pretty while ignoring the real problems.  Someone wrote previously about smoke and mirrors.  Citizens are so easily fooled by fancy talk and clever ads.
