Examiner's Schwab assails Bay Meadows 'Development' Co.

[DerbyCat]

Thanks for posting this Steve, I don't read the Examiner so this commentary didn't get my attention until you put it up.

About a month or two ago they finally removed the largest pile of mangled steel from the demo site (or maybe they hid it behind the wind-screened fence) - it truly was an eyesore for over six months. There still a massive pile of concrete rubble and the area still has the look of a war zone. The only consolation that I take from this whole situation is that the greedy bastards that tore it down so they could make money from the land are making nothing.

It still hurts when I drive past this place, the track had such wonderful historic value - society doesn't always benefit when we tear down to past to build the future. My sympathies to any of you that have/had this happen to your local track.
