Many major cities did hold onto their downtown retail battleships. We were unfortunate in that it was a really big battleship -- and our city leadership focused more on remembering their historical racism than it did on adjusting their property taxes to the realities of the 80s.
I do have to think that there are some people who realize today just how valuable that building would be in today's market -- but instead fed off the carcass.
Does anyone know how closed CAY came to any of the big deal he was working on -- most notably the Blue Cross/Blue Shield relocation?
