Just a thought;
Some of you might have noticed I have been mentioning how much in city funds it will cost us to demolish the Parking Garage. Here is a story I will share with you from Indiana from last year It was written by Purdue University to Governor Michael Pence. This is an excerpt from that letter.
This project will demolish the Marsteller Street Parking Garage which is an existing five level precast concrete parking structure that was constructed in 1976. The project also will construct a new asphalt parking lot with concrete curbing, lighting, and green space landscaping. Removal of the parking garage will eliminate the risks associated with the deteriorated condition of the garage and the need for extensive repairs.
The estimated cost of this project is $2,200,000.00 to be funded from Departmental Funds-Parking Facilities Reserve.
Demolishing the parking structure and installing a new paved parking lot will reduce the amount of parking by approximately 400 spaces
Maybe it's just me, but this story seems very similar to what we are facing here in Painesville? I can only hope I'm wrong!
And we all know the record the city has with contracts.
To this day it still amazes me how many people never realized Ted Cruz was born in Canada to an American mother and a Cuban National father lived there four years and yet no one questions his eligibility to become President? Illegal aliens? how about an Illegal Presidential candidate?
No idea what Bernie Sanders stick is, but he's seems to be staying in the race for what purpose? Special time at the Democratic Convention?
Al Gore had Ralph Nader
Hillary Clinton has Bernie Sanders

Why is it that EVERY government project (building it or demolishing it) costs far more than it would if it was a private company?
$2.25 million dollars to take down a structure??? How is this even possible? You use dynamite, you blow it inward and shovels pick it up to put it in trucks. How is that so expensive?
BTW, dynamite is used in lots of large cities to take down buildings that are much closer to other structures than this is.
It can be done.
11:51 I agree a government project always costs more.
Now as far as the dynamite. First it is a fortified steel and cement building within a few feet of Washington Towers? as well as other surrounding buildings it could be risky!
Dynamite might be risky? But what the Hell eventually every building in downtown will end up on the demo list. We're good at it!
Get all those prisoners from the jails on a chain gang and pic-axe the building block by block. But be sure to start at the top to avoid a collapse.
They use this method in other cities where buildings are this close.
Besides, maybe an explosion will scare the bed bugs out of the tower!
