Local Company wants to Paint Blackham

[Big Buds]

I don’t see what the big deal is. At the very least it got everyone talking about Blackham and how it’s an eyesore.

Someone might want to ask the MidWinter Fair Association how they feel about this.

[BeauCajun]

When fans painted parts of Cajun Field in 2002, I don't remember bidding.

You sure it was 2002? I don’t feel that old. It was well worth the time and effort. I would volunteer every year.

This University could f’up a wet dream!

This University could f’up a wet dream!

What are you blaming the university for?

An unlicensed guys company that isn’t even registered with the Secretary of State is trying to charge the university “half” of what legit companies would charge by going through proper bids required by law.

How is this any fault of the university?

[CajunVic]

Well, it’s certainly not a wet dream no matter how one looks at it.

Why would we need to spend any money rehabbing Blackham? What do we use that facility for? Why do we need it?

I'm of the mind that the property Blackham sits on is more useful to the university without Blackham on it.

^^^THIS.

At some point in the future the university will build a key piece of infrastructure on this property. What exactly will be, who knows. But it will be one of the most visible structures as the campus expands westward.

Yes it is funny, since that is allegedly what the Sears space at the Mall will be…storage company with a car wash.

Retail space to storage space.... sign of a dead mall.

I am curious to see what will happen with the Bed Bath and Beyond space after they close.

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.

But why are you mad about it?

Or demolish it and the barns in the back and build the new Performing arts center.

That is a great idea and possibly the best use of all of the land around Blackham. What a great entrance to the athletic complex that would make.
