What's going on with the Town Eyesore

[Fishstick]

Ok, is it just me or does the casino look hideous from the outside? I cannot believe it's taking as long as it is to do the "renovations" to the exterior. It looks worse than Aztar and I thought that was impossible.
At the rate they are going, the place will be closed before they get finished renovating it.

[Politically Incorrect]

Do you have a brain in your head? Do you know that the richest man in Indiana owns that thing and that he is the 68th richest man in the USA? Do you really think he will allow it to fail. If you do, you are stupid.

[Fishstick]

Why yes, I do have a brain in my head. One that made me smart enough to quit that place while I was ahead.
But you sir or madam, if you can't answer the question, then why bother throwing in the two cents about my intelligence and or lack thereof? All I wanted to know was if anyone knew why on earth the richest man in Indiana (to use your good words)would allow something that obviously should be bringing him in money, to sit looking like a fallen in building?
Any answers, and please, if you're going to insult my intellect, please remember I have a French Lick education.
Thank you, drive through....

AAAAHHHH, a scorned former employee....did it occur to you to look in the parking lot as you critiqued the casino construction project and note that it is full on most days???? That could have some bearing on the completion of the work in a more timely manner.

GUESS WHOS HOUSE JUST BURNT THIS PAST WEEK-END THATS RIGHT MR. Bs

[Fishstick]

I'm not a former scorned employee. I'm just a former employee, big difference. I'll still go and have dinner and have the niceness to stop and talk to my former coworkers and supervisors.
Oh, and the parking lot in front of the hotel, the small lot? Please, take a look at the empty levels of the parking garage.

Back-yard, thanks for the info. I hadn't heard a whole lot.

[Politically Incorrect]

I think you get the message, that place isn't hurting.

[back-yard-dog]

nope their not hurting,but the EMPLOYEES SURE ARE

[back-yard-dog]

Did the CLOWN board OOPS town board SCREW-UP with the BIG RED LIQURE STORE.This IS A BIG EYE SORE for the area.Barry W.must HAVE PULL WITH THE ZONING.WHO COULD THAT BE,OH thats who JASON H.

[Fishstick]

Yeah, just what French Lick needed, A Liquor store! Couldn't open a YMCA or Boys or Girls Club, oh no, more booze so the drunks who flock to the casino have a place to stop on the way home. Nice...

[If worst comes to worse]

If he goes bankrupt the worst that would happen is Harras or another Gaming Giant will buy it, that's Cook's plan probably, get the town looking good, with money flowing though it and ditch it for profits...

And it's all about profits, If they could get the school to burn down, they would...to free up more retail space in town, who knows what will happen..

[Part truth]

BYD: If you think the town board is so bad and you are so wise, get your name on the ballot. It is pretty easy to do. It is also easy to sit back and criticize those who give of their time and try to do the right thing, which is what it appears you enjoy most.

[BACK-YARD -DOG]

part truth one question for you at this time are you local folks?"BACK-YARD-DOGS " that is what the locals were called at ONE of the tours that i have been able to attend,or are you an OUT-SIDER looking in?????? That is how i got my name how did you come up with your name of PART-TRUTH????

[kane_abel]

you all are idiot...Bill and Gayle Cook have invested MILLIONS of their own money in renovating and restoring historic places all over Indiana......quit bitching, if you don't like it, don't go.

[back-yard-dog]

AH another one not only are we B.Y.D.s but we are IDIOTS also!What does that make you??? K AN A if I want to as you call it BITCH i have a right to I voted NO for the casino, an i have not lost a nickle there.Are you out of your mind to think that Bill an Gail would have bought in French Lick had it not been for the casino? Pull your head out of the sand or some place else!!!!

[Politically Incorrect]

BYD, Bill Cook and Gail Cook have done more for humanity than you could ever think about. In 2005, 62% of the high school students atSV were on free or reduced lunch, now only 30%, that is providing opportunity for people to pull themselves out of poverty and be proud of it!!! BY THE WAY HOW IS THE EYESORE LOOKING NOW????

[back-yard-dog]

PI AGREED BanG HAVE DONE MORE THAN YOU OR I WILL EVER KNOW!! ALL of orange county kids should have free meals and books.Go to F.L. ask the folks who have SUPPORTED the PAST an PRESENT OWNERS for years how much their checks have gone up over the years!!!THE EYE-SORE STILL LOOK S LIKE A LIQURE STORE TO ME!!!! POVERTY THOSE POOR FOLKS ARE STILL THERE!!

[Lost River]

Why don't we all just try and get along with each other.

[smitty]

BYD sounds like u are all about the handout and no earning it!

[back-yard-dog]

Smitty, it seems like to me that your speaking from experince, are you?
