Well, uh, Bush inherited a robust economy with budget surpluses and strong jobs growth in 2001, and left his successor with a massive recession, double-digit unemployment, huge budget deficits and neg... |

I know this is late, but RE: The parking garage. Northcross is a transit hub and thus is a massive center of pedestrian traffic. That's why Walmart values the location, and it's why a parking garage w... |

While I agree in general, I'm not sure your point is accurate here. My understanding is that Northcross is now, and under both the original proposal and the current proposal would be, almost completel... |

Agreed- if that space is profitable as a music venue, I have to think that someone will pick up the lease and keep things running. If it's only profitable because UT is subsidizing it to the tune of $... |
