One thing that's great is if you're staying downtown at the Renaissance, you don't even have to leave the hotel. The hotel has been fantastic and the people are real good. So far it's been great.

I wanted to be a part of the downtown renaissance,

In essence the Renaissance was simply the green end of one of civilization's hardest winters.

We're hoping for downtown hotel stays. We're hoping for the volume of downtown dining to increase.

Isn't it only natural to leave a place where one is so bitterly hated?...The heroism involved in staying put in spite of it all is the heroism of a cockroach, which also won't be driven out of the bathroom.

I know who they are but there isn't enough evidence to lay charges. They're still around downtown and one of the girls even came into the shop one day and said she was here that night, but didn't take anything. The drugs had caused scabs all over her face. She was a walking wreck.
