Purchased by Gun Lake Investments.  Is a downtown casino on the horizon?  Don't know if that building is setup for it anyway.  I'd imagine they'd want an adjacent hotel.  I'm no fan of casinos but it would be fascinating to have one downtown.

From everything I've read about these two organizations (not just Gun Lake), they're trying to diversify investments outside of casinos. I don't think is at all indicative of plans to plop a casino on Monroe Center.

It'll be interesting if this opens Steadfast (Borisch) up to invest in other properties downtown?

Yeah definitely no casino. My fiancee is a member of the Pokagon band of Potawatomi and her father works for Little River band of Ottawa. They both have big investment arms that handle non-casino assets.
