A couple of years ago, I thought these guys had a pretty good concept and couldn't understand why the city didn't jump on it. Then I realized that the city was not against the plan, just the planners. City officials knew that they were full of crap from the beginning and hoped that someone serious would take on the railroad/museum project.
The planners claim that the city hasn't contacted them in a year about the site. But they haven't updated their own website in over a year and yet they are upset with the city because they wouldn't give the planners one million dollars to secure the property for them.
I can imagine what would have happened if the city would have given it to them...
Hopefully someone else will take on the Railroad/Museum project.
