Harrison Square Park is No South Town Mall

What did you say Mad Anthony? Fort Wayne is still stealing land, but this time its not from the Indians. And you've think folks need to keep an eye on Mayor Dick.

"Cities that don't know how to be cities, or don't want to be cities, build downtown stadiums, catering to car owners, corporate box owners, and wealthy ticket holders. Tax-draining stadiums serve the very people who deserted the city. To think that stadiums can provide a salvation or even a mild assist to the ills of downtown is pure folly, especially when most games are played at night."
