It's crazy how much a casino can change the landscape of a town. They were going to put one down by the river in the town I used to live in, but the public was against it. It would have been a big boon for the area, but now it just sits vacant.

What a shame that casino never happened. It would have created hundreds of construction jobs and then permanent jobs at the casino itself. It would have brought in a lot of money for the area, even the school districts would have had more money. You could have even better toys at work!
Well, yes and no. For the area itself, it wasn't a smart move. Instead they built the casino further north which just happens to be in the school district where I work, so we get about $150,000 per year in grant money that we have been able to do a lot of cool things with. Now it's in the middle of a farm field though, it would have been cooler on the river.
