Does remembering that make me old? I'm only 28!

On another note... great news about the VBC. Doesn't include an expansion of Propst Arena (which I do know was recently renovated), but this expansion is significant with Huntsville being the only aerospace hub for hundreds and hundreds of miles. This expansion will make the city and easy pick for aerospace conventions that want to visit a city with a strong aerospace presence and an affordable meeting climate. I think it took too long for the VBC to expand, but it is smart. If the city wants to truly step it up, it will enlarge (or replace?) the arena... it's way too small considering the direction the city, and region, is heading.
