First welcome to
DB - hope you are as passionate about all kinds of topics. I think this has been discussed at length but I think anyone's opinion is worth reading.
I just came from an Indian casino and where there isn't miles of gambling operations competeing it seems the small businesses thrive just fine. That's just what I see in Kinder La. It used to be just a spot in the road now it's a 4 lane road with all kinds of mom and pop businesses around. Lots of new hotels and lots of jobs. Not every casino is a horror story but it does bring horror with it. The outcome I think is worth the risk to most in Dodge. There is some that agree with you but I don't think - put to a vote that they would win out.
It is good tho that people view everyside and you have helped them do that - good post!!!
