UPDATE: At the beginning of this video three different people defend the environmental costs of this project, they talk about two things 1) Fixing river erosion with walls and 2) removing contaminated (coal tar) soil from downtown. While I do agree with this environmental work, this is something that has been going on for years downtown. Remember when Fawick Park was tore up? That was an EPA directive, if my memory serves me correctly. Kinda sounds like they took the Morrell’s money, then had to come up with reasons why they can spend it on an entertainment facility. Funny.
I took this picture at 8 AM this morning, I saw a total of two men on the job site, standing and pointing (They must be foreman). I didn’t get close enough, but I noticed that the steps (in the water to your left) are a little uneven (like the forms were warped). Maybe it was an optical illusion at the distance I was at. I will try to get a closer inspection. BTW, I would like to thank John Morrell’s for graciously finishing this project for us.
