there were rumors many years ago that all those lots along front street between Hotel 43 and the connector were being eyed for major development by hotels and mixed use... pending the construction of the new convention center.

i wish they'd just sell the old convention center to give them money for a new one. i can't tell you how many times the current convention center has blocked traffic on 9th street during loading and unloading. it's a very poor location these days for a loading dock like that.
