This is a reissue of Question #2, which was lost in a server crash
18 months ago. The recent Hartford demolition work makes this
a valid topic again.
We know that Tampa Jai-Alai was razed for a Home Depot (though
Florida Gaming still owns the Hillsborough County permit). This
makes me wonder about other now-defunct facilities that might
be "rescued" in the event of an interest surge, Larry
winning the lottery, or slots approval. A lot of folks seem to
think we can just get some new pelotas, kill the weeds in the
parking lot, and we're back in business. In fact, there would
be much more involved, e.g., would the old buildings be "out
of code", etc.? So, then.......
Can the Milford fronton be put back into repair?
How long until Newport gets renovated to death?
Has Palm Beach been altered too much?
What about Melbourne, Daytona Beach, Big Bend?
Any remnants in Las Vegas?
I want to hear from folks who know the FACTS.
Permit status, physical plant condition - the works!
No guessing or presumptions, please.
