The city has not decided whether to tear down Bush Stadium, spokeswomen for the mayor and the Department
of Metropolitan Development said this afternoon, denying news reports. WTHR reported on its Web site that the historic ballpark
will be razed, citing a WIBC interview with Mayor Bart Peterson. City officials tell Property Lines that no decision will
be made until after a pair of appraisals come back. IBJ was first to report on the city-ordered appraisals, a first step toward eventual reuse or demolition.

I have been in training for a short time now but right off I can see that safety and quality are the number one issues, my experience as of late has been a positive one, the employees along with Jeff the plant manager and the operation supervisor as well as the engineers are a highly motivated group of people, what an asset for the area to have and for company's in need of a quality metal products.

While I understand the severity of their actions as well as everyones eagerness to hold them responsible for thier lost funds, these gentlemen did know how to make money. Dispite thier poor decisions over the ownership of Fair they had made several wise investments which paid them greatly. This proves they do have the potential to rebuild so they can repay. I do not feel they should live the life of luxuary but given an opportunity could they find ways of repaying the debts? They are doing nothing now but being a burden on tax payers. Just a thought!!!!!

Like I think we could have done a better job making the new stadium more interesting rather than just building a giant version of conseco fieldhouse, but thats almost done now so now we need to improve on some of these other big projects as we will all have to look at them for many years to come, since in my entire life I don't think a giant structure has been demolished downtown other than market square arena, as this is not vegas and we don't rebuild our hotels every few years.
I was reading an article last night about people complaining about the cobblestone alley on Mass Ave being used as a path for the cultural trail. They feel the loss of the historic bricks will hamper people's appreciate of a historic area of town. It is just ludicrous. I say save what you can when you can, incorporate where possible, but to keep something for the sake of keeping it and impeding progress just reeks of self-importance and obstructionism.
As for delaying the Marriott, I have not heard that. Link?

I completely agree with you: historical preservation has it's place, but too often it's used as a tool for obstructionism.
I don't know why they are taking so long on this, its not like they don't have hotels across the world and couldn't use a design they already have. Something like the Marriott RiverCenter in San Antonio would be great with twin towers look.
