Money Talks

Money talks, and right now it’s saying that we are going to get a big, ugly hotel whether we need one or not.

But that’s OK this little project will line the pockets of the Donald and Dudley Webb and give us even more empty hotel rooms to go with those at the Horse Park.

From the Herald-Leader:

It doesn't come as a terrible surprise, but the popular downtown music venue The Dame will close on the downtown block targeted for a $250 million hotel and condominium complex.

Joe Rosenberg, who owns the building, last night called it "an agreed separation for a sum of money." The Dame has 90 days to move out once the check has been delivered, Rosenberg said.

Note to Beverly Fortune and the Editors at the Herald-Leader:

What doesn’t come as a terrible surprise? What is the antecedent of “it”. Mr. Mac would have withered you with a look for that lead.
