I'm glad to see this conversation continuing... And with that said, I'll add this:
- Build the dome, excuse me, multipurpose facility or just build something. I don't care if they mislead the County Commission into thinking they've abandoned the idea. Start with the hotel and entertainment district and then build the facility.
- Start kickin arse and taking names, Birmingham. If a local leader doesn't want to get on board, call them out... do something, galvanize the people. Get the media and every blogger on the Net behind this project.
- And my final wish is for naysayers to get their facts straight before they blindly denounce something. If I hear the argument about Birmingham not having a football team used one more time, I'm pissing on Bobby Humphrey's new office furniture.
- And hopefully, BJCC and the city will do something daring like, I don't know, sprucing up the surrounding neighborhood by encouraging loft developments and condo highrises... Just a thought.
