UA might not be able to, but someone else could and then in turn sell it to UA. Sorry, when I said "touch", I was referring to using eminent domain. If Mannie or Harry for that matter, wanted to sell, UA could be a buyer just as much as any other person or entity. So, I guess that could be a possiblility. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be a probability. And, while the location would be nice for an arena, I'd rather have a new arena on the same side of the street as the bulk of the campus. Students crossing Exchange to get to their arena seems kind of community college to me. |

QUOTE(Can't State sucks @ Mar 18 2010, 01:36 AM) QUOTE(vmd9 @ Mar 18 2010, 01:13 AM) Just found out there was a shooting at the Plasma Center tonight. Awful news is all I can say, tear down that dang place please someone...seriously it's not even safe Seconded. It would go a long way towards revitalizing that area. I can't believe the University is allowing that structure to sit there and rot directly across the street from the brand new stadium. Just another reason many students head to Highland Square/The Valley to live. I couldn't agree with you more. And, I have a feeling that UA people have that place and other seedy establishments in their cross hairs and that the plazma center's days are numbered. |

Plasma Center shooting.
Shut that place down. it is the very definition of urban blight. It draws the worst people in the area to one spot. |

So, the Plasma Center is open at 1 am? Just curious. It needs to go, but this incident has nothing do with it. -------------------- "At least we know what the hell we is...we's a ZIP!" - Butchie Washington

Hatties café to close. Sad news. If they were just a few hundred feet to the north I think they would have been one of the most popular places for students to hang out.

Been looking for some pictures for the Bridge Design competition (the Quaker Inn Bridge over the tracks) and this all I can find.
MU Junior (and finalist) submitted this concept...  Also interesting to point out that Forbes magazine has listed the Quaker Inn as one the country's most unique hotels. UA Article -------------------- "At least we know what the hell we is...we's a ZIP!" - Butchie Washington

UA Article That design is amazing!!! I'm still hoping the UA does something more with the Quaker Square Inn. At least they're keeping what, half of it open as a hotel? They really need to get their culinary arts program working in there to open up the old Tavern on the Square (formerly a very nice restaurant) as well as one of the old banquet dining rooms. Quaker Square is just too unique/cool to be used exclusively for a dormitory. Now the Mayflower on the other hand... It'd be better vacant than it is now. -------------------- Terry Bowden.

QUOTE(Blue & Gold @ Mar 25 2010, 01:53 PM) That design is amazing!!! Kool. I would like to see them carry some of that design over to the buildings that it is connecting. That way it visually connects the structures and doesn't just look like a cool bridge that might look out of place with it's surroundings.

I always thought they should change the Q on the top of the tower to something more fitting for UA...
 either that or the UA logo they have on the Polsky building. --------------------  |
