Among my early observations was that the Convention Center should NEVER be built adjoining a residential neighborhood, particularly (in the case of Lancaster) in an area which contributes greatly to the crime stats.
Ah, the Stockyard site would have been so much better.
Editor's note: Best of all would have been to have upgraded the Brunswick, thus accomplishing for $30 million that for which we are spending almost $200 million, and putting Lancaster Square to good use.
