If ADM does relocate here, which would be HUGE get for region, I would guess they would lease the space they need in the southwest metro.

I know Woofner was actually proposing a deep bore tunnel, and while I actually very much appreciate and agree with the arguments that he's made in favor of it, I do remain very skeptical of his budget numbers. I'm not sure the numbers from the SWLRT folks were any more robust -- they seemed to base...

I, at least, agree with it. I've never used the trail, I'll admit, and I'm sure it is very nice. But no bike trail is nice enough to be worth spending $100,000,000 to save that short of a section.

Students can't live off campus in single family housing because of sex, drugs, and rock & roll. Developers can't build new mixed use buildings or apartments off ...

This is the product ("Mediamesh") that is being installed on the front of the stadium atop the triangular spire. http://www.gkdmediamesh.com/ Cool stuff, too bad they aren't covering the entire face of the spire in it. I agree, to me the current one looks small and dinky compared to the G...
