Moroun Loses in Appeals Court

[Gistok]

OK... I don't get it.... when downtown Hudson's was imploded it cost $12 million. How the heck could the demo'ing of the MCS cost more than $200+ million? [[The likely cost to completely restore it)

Not that I'd want to see it demo'ed, because I'm pleased that it's at least being mothballed....

But this would likely be an implosion, rather than a Statler like dismantlement.... and as sturdy as the MCS is... so was Hudson's.... although it was a hodgepodge of 20+ separately built components.

Perhaps demo'ing it is more costly than "mothballing"... but certainly not more costly than restoration.

implosion next to tunnel = bad idea

demo would be enormously expensive but still much cheaper than a fancy rehab. what would be cheaper is turning it into a downhill mountain bike course.

it would also be more awesome.
