"Â…the Casino. If it is in such disrepair that there exists less of it than more of it, you aren't saving it anyway; you're just rebuilding something new that follows the old form. If you are rebuilding new anyway, why stay cuffed by the dead-hand control of our predecessors? We can use the opportunity to employ our own creativity and build something even more magnificent today than what used to be there. It is just a matter of believing in ourselves to do better than those that came before us. Just a little bravery is all it takes to break from the past and be something better."
You're certainly working hard for Fish money, it remains to be seen whether he'll ever throw you a bone. Re the Casino, you actually believe "there exists less of it than more of it", that today's builders and architects can match or exceed "dead-hand control of our predecessors" and that "a little bravery is all it takes to break from the past and be something better"? I'm aware of the party line of the `3 clown news and world report' that only world class design is sufficient for groovy condo Asbury; that this is at odds with having The Fish as developer appears to have escaped the attention of your hustler employer, but then I think we all know DJ is playing for the long game and he too will have to wait and see whether Larry will ever throw him a bone. However, you appear to have endless confidence that `new stuff' beats the hell out of old stuff; you're large on facts so how about providing a few examples, all I know of your tastes is an inordinate love affair with Monster Trucks. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "bluebishop82" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "dfsavgny" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Yes, I assume there is a threshold when partial dismantling becomes > > total demolition.
