Centerpoint Nutscraper Lexington KY

My office overlooks a gaping hole in Lexington. It isn't Lexington Crossings what you're thinking; It's where the Dame and Buster's used to be. Right now it is a muddy pit, but come spring it will be one giant, multimillion dollar weed pit.

I was hoping as they finished knocking down the Dame in July I would see some penis shaped frame of a building being constructed by spring time, but it seems that I will be lucky to have a foundation being poured if that. Now I wasn't some crazy, historical, socialista, clawing tooth and nail to save those grimey, fantastic dives, but I won't lie and say I'm not a bit pissed. I'd hate to think that the Webbs knocked down some decent "crappy" buildings just to replace it with a f'n marsh in the middle of Lexington.

I wish I could say this is the first time something in Lexington was knocked down and left knocked down without a proper replacement. Back in the day there was a fantastic old hotel in Lexington called the Phoenix Hill Hotel. Now I'll probably screw up the story, but it seems they knocked down the hotel to build a grander more awesome hotel in its place. I'm sure what was to go there was nothing compared to the phallic masterpiece that is Centerpoint, but I digress, a hotel of grander proportions was to go in the Phoenix Hill lot. So the hotel was demolished, and just as the rubble was being moved to some sink hole in KY, the funding for the new hotel was dropped. WTF?? What happened?? Well, Lexington did what any city would do, they bought a portion and made a public library, and the remaineder was turned into a refuge for the homeless a park. Where the once magnificient Phoenix Hill hotel stood, now stands the magnificient, urine stained Phoenix Hill Park. HOORAY!!!!

Sooooo... What's up Webbs? Where's my Centerpoint? Did you lose your plans with the crash of the economy, or were those plans washed away with the rest of KY's state funded programs?

I'm tired of bitchin' but the next time you descide to knock down a block of profitable buildings to replace it with a giant dick building, DON'T! Buy a sports car like all other wealthy people trying to compensate.
