Here's a general question about what happened in Rivertown. If greedy landowners were the cause of the debacle in Rivertown, why does the city get the blame? What other way was the city going to get property for the casinos? Could they have bought property in a timely manner without the greedy landowners finding out why the city wanted to buy their property? How was the city's desire to buy land in Rivertown for casinos different from say Mike Illitch wanting to buy land in Rivertown for a new baseball or hockey stadium?
Also, I remember the owner of the Soup Kitchen closing up due to lack of business simply because he said people thought he was closed due to the news about the city buying up property for the casinos. If he still had his property and restaurant, why didn't he run a few TV and/or radio spots announcing that the business was still open?
BTW, Woodbridge Street is an alley street.
