Examiner's Schwab assails Bay Meadows 'Development' Co.
This is progress?
By Dwight Schwab http://www.examiner.com/x-11780-SF-B...is-is-progress Just eight months ago, the area was vibrant and clean. The track was paying hefty property taxes and more to the city and county and over 300 workers were feeding their families, living in the community and being a part of society. Now through sheer greed and stupidity it is all gone. And will this be the poster child for stopping such actions in the future? Will people finally realize enough is enough; that building on every last inch of space is not the answer? Has more tax money (if it ever arrives) made up for all of this?

We had the same thing in New Jersey. Garden State Park was demolished and "developed" into another shopping mall complex...just what Cherry Hill, NJ needed.
Those of you who have been to the South Jersey area know we have no shortage of shopping malls, many of which are empty and not rented. Not that this fact would stop the building of new ones, for some odd reason. Anyway, I feel for those who mourn Bay Meadows, as we feel that way with GSP gone and ACRC teetering on the edge. While Momouth and Meadowlands are in NJ, they are much further from the Philadelphia/South Jersey area.

I attended two proms at Garden State Park while there was night racing.
