Imagine if you will the possibilities that could/would exist for Johnstown if it converted an old steel mill into a casino.  Not only would it be a viable work source for those unemployed at present, it would help to boost the economy overall from drawing people to the area.  Johnstown can no longer continue to press forward on it's history, but rather needs to explore other options to bring people in town. RESOURCES .. the town needs resources with new ideas and a willingness/determination to try new things.  It is time to think outside of the box or in this case the valley.

Why don't we try to respect one another.

So once again, whatfreedom seems to be saying he knows what is better for me than I do.

Guess what. I have taken care of myself for 66 years and I am probably more competent that he is.

What freedom? seems to have a HUGE chip on her shoulder all the time. It would be interesting to pick her mind, never any positive thoughts or feedback. I concur red.

I can't afford a casino.   Well maybe if I could win I could afford it.  Tongue
