Yesterday the city held a public meeting where they would once again try and explain to City Council (for the 8th time) just how DWNTWN and hotels within 1,000 feet of the convention center would be positively impacted by the location of the sure-to-lose-money arena as close as possible to the convention center.

It is more than obvious that most of the City is all in to dropping this arena in the Duranguito barrio, giving the boot to 150 or so residents and cementing our oldest history in favor of the investors, property-owners and hoteliers that are salivating as they wait for the $180,000,000 tax-payer funded arena to materialize and blow up their fat bank accounts.
