I admit to being more than unimpressed by Mr. Grace's logic. I fail to see how spending money vs. jogging makes his proposed use of riverfront property any more valid than a pedestrian or cyclist.

It is at least refreshing to see a free market radical point of view without the artificial veneer of compassionate rhetoric so common among the economic elite these days.

So Perhaps Mr. Grace should consider furthering the historical aspects of the riverboat gambling experience with another traditional capital generating use of the waterfront, a large bordello.

This would also elevate his attitude toward the needs of the St. Joseph community from the metaphoric, to the actual.

I have nothing against casinos, personally. But they should realize that they, like a large, tax abated bawdy house in the downtown area, might need to be a little concerned about how the community feels about their presence.
