Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Preservation isn't always about a building being a historic site (forefathers met here to write a constitution). Many preservation efforts are just as much about conserving the built environment. Reusing buildings over and over and not resorting to throwaway culture. It recognizes that construction ...

There are only two buildings downtown that I'm aware of that have sheep heads adorning them. Aladdin and the Rialto Building at 9th and Grand.

Re: Aladdin--boutique hotel by Holiday Inn
Anyone who has stayed in some hotels in Paris will know how small elevators and bathrooms can be there in older buildings. I don't know why they think they have to squeeze two beds into every hotel room. I've stayed in plenty of hotel rooms with only one bed. The President Hotel had that problem as ...

Re: Aladdin--boutique hotel by Holiday Inn
I can't believe how many empty buildings downtown end up having vagrants living in them. Don't the property owners know how many buildings are set on fire by vagrants? One would think they would hire security to check the building daily for break-ins. Can't they hire someone to live in the building ...
