Come on guys. La Paree was a good place to eat, but do you have any idea of how bad shape that building is in? I’m all for perserving old character is our city, but every old building can’t just be refurbished.
More hotel space downtown will be good for downtown business and will spill over to downtown resturants and bars.

I love how we just dynamited one “luxury” hotel, and now we see fit to create another…can’t people see “luxury” hotels (an other upper crust catering things) are not a sustainable way to revitalize downtown? Give us more restaurants, a grocery store, more affordable housing, theaters….
Not more rich people who will come downtown, maybe to a convention, stay in the hotel and then leave! Good grief. The city is out of touch with community!
