There wouldn't have been the impetus to build a new terminal right then. However, I expect given the growth, we still probably would've ended up with a new terminal by 2000 or so.

The dude has a right to build a statue on his property, even if we almost all agree that it is pretty ghastly. The subject doesn't particularly bother me (he is a nuanced character, and frankly if we applied the PC standards of today against people of the past, no one would get a statue), but the rendition itself is amateurish and cartoonish and is more of an insult to its subject. Of course, saying the man has rights to put up a statue on his property doesn't similarly mean all have to be subjected to viewing it. If the state wishes to replant trees/high shrubbery, etc. on their side of the property line, that's their call. See, using the Constitution, you can find a way to respect the rights of both sides.

My parents took me there as a kid in the '70s. I thought it was a Mexican village.

^Bennie-Dillon. Where the rooftop a/c units are as big as skyscrapers.

No, no. It's OK. Just post them over in the Coffee House in a new thread. I'd like to see the photos, as would most of the rest of us.

This would look perfect here...

Yes, please. We'd love to see them. Perhaps under Coffee House and call it "London Photos."

How many places in America DON'T have crime-infested housing projects ?

^Ugh, I swear they gotta change the name of that hotel. "Fieldhouse Jones" ? It sounds like the name of slave quarters on a plantation.

Yeah, but there is the problem that this is a very ugly building.

I'll vote against it for a much different reason: we don't need to be jacking up taxes to pay for a boondoggle. But, yes, terrorism is a serious concern.

I'd be happy if it could not just dwarf the Westin, but eat it.
