Yet another freaking article about the Events Center, even though no funding source has been picked and the taxpayers have yet to vote on it. But this ignorant quote says it all;
Betty Kleine, who lives one street over on North Lyndale Avenue, favors the Convention Center complex site over downtown.
“We hope it comes here because we hate going downtown,” she said. “I couldn’t imagine adding an events center there.”
You HATE going downtown? Why? I’m baffled by this. While I can understand some dislikes about parking, etc., what part of DT do you specifically HATE? The great restaurants? Falls Park? Free outdoor art and music? The statue of David? Trust me, I have had my battles with DT entities, and I am critical because I want them to be the best, but I still think our DT is where it is at.
You know where I hate going? The arena and convention center. It’s like I’m going to Baltic or Crooks, because it is so desolate.
“I know we are talking about an Events Center, but, hey look over my shoulder at all these shiny pre-owned Harleys. How cool would you look driving up to the new events center in one of these?” – Â Jimmy E. (Image: Screenshot, Argus Leader video)
I also enjoyed the video of councilor Entenmann. It was so nice of them to interview him in his retail establishment right before Christmas and also feature him in the Sunday insert about top businesses in SF. Hey, but the news department and advertising department don’t influence each other. Yeah right. LMFAO!
