Let's start a petition to have this development stopped. Its much better suited for the enoch casino site by the new arena! And while we are at it lets start a second petition to have perigrine point added to the list of historicaly important buildings.

By all means I am totally for getting this project going. I think what myself and others are really concerned about is the fact of how much of a greater impact this project COULD have. In the short term, this museum will have a great impact to that area and for our city. But 20-30 years from now it just going to be another current RAM, too small and barely visited. There will be demand for something greater. Its just not enough on a world class level, and the attraction will not be there in the future. IMO
BUT yes, better than a post office. I guess anything is better right now. Although not happy with design, I am very anxious and excited for this project.
