    Why feel the need to assume the guys just some selfish guy doing it only for his own benefit? Do you know if your accusation is correct?

    Interesting that it was designed by A Hays Towne.

    Volunteering isn’t the same as doing something for “half the price of other companies”.

    If someone’s doing it because they really want to help, they’ll make a phone call. What they won’t do it promote their “idea” like crazy on social media while asking people to follow his page at the same time. Would also help if “The Paint Guys” were registered with the state. Maybe then he could bid on this type of job like legit companies. I’m sure he’s doing business under his other company but he may want to also check with the Secretary of State because he forgot to do something important. Of course that doesn’t matter either since neither “company” is shown as licensed with the state. Even if he volunteered to do it for free, he can’t.

    He also designed the OLD Baker and Huger halls that were demolished several years ago. Those buildings and Blackham must have been during his Auschwitz period of design.

    Interesting, I had no idea that the current Blackham layout is the "expanded" layout.

    Really like it when someone does their homework. It’s a DOA idea.

    The LOCAL hysterical group now is on FB saying they’re working on getting Blackham on the local registry. Local designation is basically a feel good move, but Pandora’s Box has been open. Be careful what you wish for, this is one of the best pieces of real estate UL owns.

    Tear that sucker down. It is a piece of poop. You paint it, but it will be a piece of poop that is painted.

    I guess the question is how much does blackham bring in to the university/city with the livestock events. If another type of venue would bring more to the table then it should have been done years ago.

    Don't try to bring that logical poop in here. I do not want to hear it.
