Progress?

Two hotels down, one casino coming up.

Sigh.

For more than three decades, the Holiday Inn-Civic Center was a home away from home for generations of businesspeople, basketball tournament fans and other visitors.

It is one of two hotel properties Penn National Gaming Inc. acquired as the home for a major project here — a $131 million complex that will house, among other things, a gaming floor featuring up to 1,500 slot machines, a seven-story hotel and a four-level parking garage. The new racino is slated to open in the summer of 2008.

Neither of the hotels taken down was particularly attractive, but what's slated to take their place is pretty depressing.

When I initially commented I clicked the -Notify me when new feedback are added- checkbox and now every time a remark is added I get 4 emails with the same comment. Is there any means you can remove me from that service? Thanks!
