Can you imagine a neon "SUGARHOUSE" sign next the Ben Franklin Bridge? My god, I cringe.  Most of my distaste comes from the lazy lingo regarding "tax revenue." Bring companies here, cut taxes, and create jobs. Slot revenue is a failed stop gap.

I don't want to start an anti-casino rant...I'm just concerned about our city. We're not a savvy bunch and my fear is that this endeavor will cripple the momentum we have going for us right now. |
I dont think they have the money for a neon sign. Looking at the plans of Sugarhouse that lot is poised to be 80% surface parking lots. The interem phase that they plan to shoot up is absolutely hideous.
