A building is burning now. That would be the last straw if a fire were to get out of control with no ability to put it out. The whole area could burn up.

I have never been to NOLA but I bet it will never be the same again
. Like you said if a fire starts in 1 building I can't imagine what would stop it from spreading. Aren't all the buildings connected on a given block?
They keep talking about casinos - who gives a crap about casinos.

I hear that 2 are missing :shock: and some were floated up over the highway :!:
Gambling is bad news. I don't like the way it has become so popular. It is becoming a greater and greater scourge. Those casinos will build bigger and better (at stealing money). Do people deserve what they get?? Where does all that money go that the casinos pay the state? Into schools? Feeding the hungry? Buiolding roads? Not in Miss. It's going right into crooks pockets.
See how they skirted the rules by building on barges. Next thing they'll be saying - hey we'll rebuild but let us do it on land cause its safer.
All those people that are employed by the casinos - what were they doing before? Starving? No - and most of them came from out of the area. Casinos are not good for anyone. Gambling is the worst vice. Vegas is the devils playground. Maybe he was pissed at Miss.

Yep. I heard somewhere that the state loses $500K a day that the casinos are closed. So.. I guess it is important. Plus, it's just amazing to see the pictures of the huge riverboat casinos moved a few hundred yards inland..spinDrAtl said:

I can't believe governments are becoming so dependent on gambling money. I guess that's preferable to raising taxes, or becoming more financially responsible?
With casinos in NOLA and Mississippi shut down, what do you want to bet (no pun intended) that we see a push in Florida to legalize it here?
I had a realtor tell me a year or so ago that a lot of the big, new, high-rise condos in PC were running extra electrical capacity into their ground floor lobbies in anticipation of when (not if...when) it's legalized here.
