      <![CDATA[FanGuy - nice try, but "credit support" and "financial support" mean the same thing, and I presume you know that, or maybe you can enlighten me.  There is no way that the City is going to pledge 11% of its debt capacity to a ballpark, and if the City does there will be an insurrection. <br><br>A ballpark in Shockoe might be a good thing, but this proposal is so speculative and weak that there isn't any good reason to keep stringing it along which hurts everybody.

      <![CDATA[Tyrone, Diradour is a developer with properties in and around the Fan, near West End, and Boulevard area. Just google his name and see how he was interviewed because the Stony Point Mall was detrimentally affecting the properties his company owns around Libbie & Grove when it first owned.

      <![CDATA[Diradour deserves an award for taking the time to research the developer's proposal and for going out on a lonely limb to explain to the us citizens that the developer proposal is much like a ballpark cheese-dog: tasty going down, but hell to pay later. Diradour gets no personal or professional benefit from calling foul ball, and in fact probably risks his name by doing so.
