If the redevelopment commission tries to micromanage downtown land usage, fewer businesses will be interested in locating there. It seems like many businesses "support" downtown but refuse to move there.

darn1 i was going to open a deja vu, or other strip club/potential casino/sports book there, with rooftop patio for watching the games. hot tubs, and nekked wimmin waving to the rubes.... guess that shoots that idea down. the city will never sell that to me for tha purpose for any price. look for some chain fast food joint. hooters? never know..
Poor John's Lounge probably wouldn't want another competitor so close nearby.
I say we build a rooftop lounge on top of poor John's and run a cable car from there to the stadium.
