How is it economically feasible? You keep using projects that are bleeding money as an example of your vision of the future.
The real problem with Franks vision of Gulfstream other than him refusing to listen to anyone about anything is that the area didn't need more retail shops or restaurants, hence the place being empty. Everything sounds great in theory but the reality of the situation is that he is serving what is already overserviced EXCEPT for the racing product.

Ahh the shortsighted. Anything entertainment related is doing swimmingly right now isnt it? Besides that, you support my point. Without the other streams of revenue, racing could not survive and going forward more revenue streams need to be created.
I didnt say that Gulfstream was great. I said the idea was great and I believe that he was on the right track its just the planning and execution stunk.
You tell me Chuck how Charlestown thrives? Is that racing product any good? Do you get better odds at the Borgata casino than you do at Trump? Are the slots looser there?
