Standing Up for My Adopted City: The HQ Hotel Battle In Pittsburgh

Having an argument via blog at 3am is not conducive to a productive morning.  But that's what I've been doing with Sam McDonald, author of our local Pittsburgh "Anti Rust" blog.

Pittsburgh - should it build a headquarters convention hotel?  Should that hotel be publicly financed? 

Anybody who wants to help out, please feel free to join the fray over at Sam's blog.  Or feel free chime in over here if so inclined.

I'm feeling fighting this fight should make up for at least one of the times I've pissed off Steven Hacker lately ;-) 

I'll note that Sam appears to be a good debater.  And he hasn't even invoked Heywood Sanders yet, so this could get interesting if enough people are in the discussion.

Fuel Dog's Expophile:  Boston needs a hotel too.  (Would you guys please name your blogger so I'm not so embarrassed linking over there - it's really annoying.)

Rich,

You appear to doing a good job as well.

Again, thanks for reading AntiRust and engaging in what I hope can be a provocative--and productive--discussion. I doubt we'll agree on everything in the end, but I appreciate anyone who takes the time to critique my thoughts on such matters. Thanks again.
