Economic studies aside, does Toledo really need to be trashier? If so I can think of nothing better than a casino.

People could probably park at the Vistual Garage across the street from Portside. There is an underground corridor that leads right to the doors of the former COSI.

“no parking and three and four and five and………. NO PARKING!”

What about the parking spaces down the street from the former COSI?

Next to the Steam Plant.

People could walk back and forth or have a shuttle, what with so much emphasis on the Maumee River Front projects.

The following is an excerpt from a June 24, 2008 Blade article:

Councilman Lindsay Webb yesterday said the city-owned building is not the right place for a children’s science museum. “I just wish Governor Strickland would make gambling legal in Ohio and we could put a casino where COSI is,” Ms. Webb said.

Has everyone forgotten the perfect place for gambling, the racetracks. Portside is no place for a casino, one, it’s not big enough and two, no parking and three and four and five and………. NO PARKING!
Right on, Pam, when do we leave for the next trip?

“I think a great thing to go in Portside would be a science center for kids.”

Wasn’t there a science museum of sorts already in the downtown area and attendance dropped off year by year as people were not visiting it.

“Thanks NC, you gave me a great idea for a project. ”

Oh, please, do not give me credit.

It just goes against the illusion that some how a person who wants better for a city is being negative.
