New Arena Discussion with Bram on a podcast

The biggest city planning meeting in our lifetime -- starts at 2 pm on Monday at 200 Ross Street.

Bram of the Pittsburgh Comet and the Burgh Report was kind enough to give me some time to get a better understanding of the fireworks associated with the developments of the new hockey arena in the Hill District. A Community Benefits Agreement (CBA for short) is on the rocks. It seems that what Mayor Ravenstahl wants does not match well with the dreams and ambitions with the various groups and residents.
