Was the waste dump engineered to become a gas generator, lined and worked up to keep leachate from contaminating the water table? How does a community that serves a transient student popluation develop depth and the value for truth?

It has been so long that there was nothing but that great big eyesore of a hole in the ground that I cannot even remember what the old hotel looked like. I know it was residence to transients, drug dealers and such for quite a while and I believe it had been condemned before the city so stupidly let those backwoods contractors tear it down. I think Fayetteville should do a civil confiscation act on the property and build that damnable parking garage they want to build on the church property across the street from the Washington County Courthouse. That hole really makes the area around it look like trash. Traffic is redirected every now and then because of the mess that property has become. If it wasn't for the mayor being "buddy-buddy" with the builder, they would have been sued by the city long ago. I guess I should just say, 'Thanks Fayetteville for the hole mess!"

Fayetteville alone has major 5 eyesores that aren't getting fixed any time soon thanks to big talking developers who couldn't deliver.

Now, those exact same developers are wanting more favors for an even bigger project south of town? What makes us think they can deliver that?

Doing the same thing while expecting a different result?

TIF is just a raid on the public treasury. Anyone pretending a public benefit has already recieved theirs. Just remember. This IS the government WE deserve.

Gee - I googled "Glory Hole" and found, much to my surprise, that this term generally refers to something else involving a little more anonymity. Maybe someone can 'splain the analogy a little better.
