We need to attract business that actually produce something not take. it will great in the beggining but it will get old and stale and people will go back to going to out of town casinos. > > wait till they have their first robbery and shooting and or killing. its gonna happen… lowes theather in the waterfront was a nice place too and then it got overan. you who bitches about welfare so much is complaining that we are making the sort of low paying menial jobs that would get people off of it? It will further diversify the Pittsburgh area’s draw for tourism. It’s created lots of jobs, will garner lot’s of tax dollars, will be a nice artistic addition to the city. Pittsburgh’s not going to turn into the next Atlantic City bro. We should all really be happy that big companies are investing ANYTHING into the city. 5-10 years ago when it was nothing but a steady stream of jobs out of the area. This is really a huge sign that things are turning around. We have a nice convention center (that is hosting a huge event that will beautifully showcase the city in the G20 summit), will have 3 brand new sports venues, brand new airport, a brand new casino complex… And in case no one has noticed, the roads are getting CONSIDERABLY BETTER in and around town. Our economy is MUCH better than the vast majority of urban complexes in the US and abroad. The high-tech, diversified economy we smartly built after the fall of the steel industry has finally started to bear it’s fruit. This area has one of (if not the) brightest futures of anywhere in the US. Now all we have to do is destroy Ohio so their filth blowing into our beautiful area stops giving us all lung cancer. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/the-rivers-casino/203413)._
