Man, that lastcamp guy on the Trib Star comments section really wants Terre Haute to return to the 80s. They don't advocate spending money on anything. I remember what the Haute was like in the 80s and its the reason they're in the position they are now instead of being well down the road.


he sounds as intelligent as that other "genius" brewman...


hopefully they can get the $$ to do the project; hulman is in need of some basic, fundamental maintenance and rehab... the convention center idea was the impetus for the $$$ to get it accomplished.

terre haute is, imo, no different than so many other mid-sized cities across the "rust belt" that haven't seen true growth for the last 30 years.

part of it is on the community, part on the leaders - business and government; other factors out of their control as well.

Were it not for "Sanctuary Cities" and the Federal Govt. "gravy train," your "Bubble Heaven" on the East Coast likewise would've seen little growth. The big difference is that in many cities like TH & E-ville, local govt. is demolishing the slums, while on the East Coast, they use 'em for refugee and illegal immigrant housing while reaping in the Federal $$$ from the "body count.".

Anyway, anyone hearing anything new on this? With Bradley retiring, are we looking at it being kicked out until the next President takes office?
 
Bradley stated that the Center was something plans on completing in a local interview.
He's leaving in January, right? So he has less than 6 months to get it done. Ambitious but I hope he can do it. Would certainly be the capper on his legacy here.

So is anything happening with Hulman Center ? ? ?

At least Dr. B. said he'd like to get it finalized before he leaves. We'll see. They did NOT have their ducks in a row when it was voted on by the legislature. They need to have their end of the financing, at least on paper, before they will vote yes. It's a no brainer but........lot's of work to do.

Indy firm presented plans for the project. Very modern the committee voted 5 to 2 for the firm to continue with plan development. They meet again July 3rd.

Not sure about the "tic tac toe" windows of the upstairs Conference Center...is this "structurally" necessary? Presents an "urban jungle" appearance that seems aesthetically unnecessary.

In that case, I guess the design theme is properly aligned with the history of TH. Wonder why the idea wasn't integrated into the new ISU Track, which is nearer to the "old neighborhood" where all the activity took place and was designed by the same architect?

Hot off the press re: HC Financing:

This is the only article that matters... I'm really confused why ISU doesn't have financial stake in this?
