Having gone to Yankee and Met games over the past 30+ years, the area adjacent to both stadiums could easily be compared to the situation outside the baseball stadium in Havana where the game occurred yesterday.
NYC has been trying to redevelop Willets Point for years, and is essentially using eminent domain to force the car businesses there to sell out in order to redevelop the area in to housing, hotels, and restaurants that benefit the Wilpons who own the Mets.
You don’t have to go all that far to find run-down neighborhoods around ballparks in the nation. It’s one of the reasons that cities fund new arenas - to economically develop those areas. Of course, the benefits all run to the owners of the teams, and the locals see little benefit since teams play so infrequently (82 games in baseball and half that for basketball or hockey, and 8 games for football). The rest of the time, those ballparks serve as black holes often surrounded by parking lots.

The old Tiger Stadium was much the same way.

Or casinos in places like Atlantic City. I haven’t been back there in at least 10 years, but when I lived there if you traveled a few blocks away from the bling of the casino strip you’d think you were in a third world hellhole. It wasn’t an accident that things were like that (nor was it the fault of the poor people who lived there).
Ugh, I hated that place. I mean I loved the boardwalk & being close to the ocean and there are some really great people there, but the suffering, crime and corruption the casinos bring with them is horrible, and the fact that it’s allowed to flourish is beyond egregious.
My surprise, etc. —

re: #17 CuriousLurker
You don’t have to go off the same block as the casinos in some cases. AC has been mismanaged for decades, and all the promises that the casinos would be the city’s salvation have not come to pass.
AC has had municipal mismanagement for years, but now Gov. Christie wants to have a state takeover, which wont be any better.
The problem is that the dynamics of gambling in the NYC metro area have changed to such a degree that people don’t need to go to AC to gamble. They can even stay in NYC (Resorts World at Aqueduct) or go to CT or PA, which are comparable in distance.
The casinos also have themselves to blame - being stingy on comps that would bring gamblers back, catering to day-trippers and junket grannies who go to the slots, etc.
The place isn’t a destination the way Vegas is, and they haven’t been able to figure out how to do that either.
And little of the casino revenues has found its way back to help the community, which is the bottom line.
I think if Ted Cruz knows about these people who are national security threats, he shouldn’t sit on the info. Name names, Ted!

Best thing to do is to carpet bomb Michigan. There will be some collateral damage, but overall, it will teach them a lesson.

Employer-based health insurance is insurance you’re paying for through the payment of premiums on a periodic basis. It isn’t free.
You’re paying for everything provided. That’s what the EOB entails. Every year you sign up for insurance, it runs through the items included, the copays and coinsurance for in/out of network, mental health, preventative care, and hospitalizations, ER, medication, etc.
Heck, some will even provide fertility assistance up to a certain dollar amount.
You’re paying for it out of the money deducted from your paycheck. It isn’t free.

That momma dog reminds me of my buddy the dog trainers dog Bailey.
Unfortunetly Bailey passed away early Monday morning. He had a heart attack. He’d been diagnosed with congestive heart failure last fall, but his meds kept him going until Sunday.
My friend is crushed. Bailey was the absolute most lovable dog. He was also his best working dog trainer demo. He followed my buddy in everything.
I’m gonna miss him too. I took care of him and my buddy’s other dog several times when my friends were away on vacation, emergency, etc. He loved human attention and there was never enough pets or head scratches.
I had posted this picture of him back in November. That’s him on the rock eyeing the geese. That’s Molly laying down. She is getting along in the years now and also suffering some health issues. I hope she hangs on a bit because I don’t think my friend can take losing both of them so close together.
