Convention Centers

We've heard a number of people express the desire for a convention center up here, some suggesting that would be a good use of the Balloon Tract. Convention centers, at least from everything I've heard, usually end up being a drain on the economy as this Los Angeles Times commentary explains.

I'm not saying some sort of convention center wouldn't be nice to have up here. But, if convention centers don't pay off for bigger cities, I can't see how one would work up here.

Chris Kerrigan can make it work! If anyone can, Kerrigan can!

Let's have the city spend years in litigation to get UP to do a clean up. Then they can spend tens of millions on construction. Then the people of Eureka can subsidize it for millions each year. Sounds like a Progressives wet dream.

kerrigan is all talk, he has built nothing and he will build nothing. i wish the left would grow some real leaders already.

comparing kerrigan to jones is hardly the way to uplift kerrigan. how about we look at our values, then look at how chris is failing to implement them in any meaningful way. just saying hes not as bad as the worst is just the kind of lesser-evil politics that gave us bill clinton, john kerry and mike thompson.

10:19 is in the 8% who don't care for Mike Thompson - a truly great congressman. Gawd, you right-wingers are foaming at the mouth. Still sore about the election?

Is the Adorni paying for itself?
The City ripped off Harry Adorni's bequest to build it.
