If you get the chance, please read these comments BFD readers have left on the topic of the proposed convention center. Along with the usual suspects, there's a funny post from the Abrasivist, but the one that struck me the most was on from someone still in school:

I am doing a debate report for school on whether Cleveland should build a casino or not. Truthfully I didn't care one way or the other. But after I though about it. They are going to waste money putting in something America has billions of. Sure it sounds like fun. But, that is somewhat why people take vacations Las Vegas is a big hit. If people can afford to go to a casino they should be able to afford the bus ride to Detroit. I'm sorry but there are way better things to do with that money, whether it may be their money to use in any way they want or not. I constantly hear about how we are supposedly in debt. I'm sure we can all think of something better to use that money for. Like people who don't have homes. Sure there are plenty of shelters but if u haven't noticed they may be crowded. Or maybe the existing ones can't afford to feed all these people and need some help which i'm sure the food comes from the Government but come on think about it!! But that is not the only example i'm sure someone could think of a million and one ways how to use that money to make Cleveland better.

For once, can the people who are trying to get the convention center built stop and listen to someone other then themselves? This person took the time to write her opinion on my website. Will someone stop and pay attention to what the young men and women who'll be here after we're gone are thinking and saying? Shianna, thank you.
