There is a lot of development going on in the city right now, including the new convention center for which the mayor and governor just broke ground the other day. The city is an unbelievable place.
Major conventions occur in the middle of it and nobody knows it happened.
That's the nature of a city. It's especially true when they take place in big convention centers. All of this changes the character of a city. One of the trends we notice is that people come to a city for a convention or something and really never interact with the city. The more you have a city that is primarily populated by strangers the less of a community it becomes.
