Dade Heritage Trust Wants to Protect Ugly Miami Herald Building

• Who are these people people running the Dade Heritage Trust and why do they think they can decide if the Miami Herald building stays or gets torn down.  I have never heard anyone say they liked the look of the herald building.  Everyone ALWAYS complains about the horrific architectural design.  Most people hope ht building gets turns down and were happy when Genting bought the property to develop a casino.  The Dade Heritage Trust is letting themselves be used as a tool in defeating gambling.  They should loose their non profit status.

• The Miami Herald building is a monstrosity. It blocks the view of the bay. The notion of declaring it an historic site is absurd. Are the people of this organization idiots or are they getting paid off? It's a cute scheme but the people of Miami aren't that stupid.

• The lobbyists who are being paid by Genting are now writing on this blog trying to force the public to not hate casinos. Casinos are for losers.

• This building is not even attractive. Its time we get rid of the monstrocity and put something beautiful in its place. This is just another move from the anti-gaming lobbyists to stop the Casino Resort bill and its BS

• Mega casinos have no place in Miami. Nevada leads the nation in crime, foreclosures, rapes and divorce. Who needs that in Miami?

• I suppose the building would have some significance in a low class, plastic pink flamingo kind of way. But what would you expect ... it's Miami.

• Notice how all the anti genting stories bring out these kinds of pro gaming long winded comments?

• It is time we move forward. The time for a change is now! Dade Heritage Trust has flushed Millions down the DRAIN safe The Herald Building? Once upon a time we could have had a Disney World. We voted down a $150,000,000 Major League Baseball Stadium on what later would became Bi Centennial Park with it own Homeless Colony,People Mover and Metro Rail Stop. Now we have a 35,000 seat covered stadium at the site of the Orange Bowl for 15 times what would have cost in the early 1970s.Our Hurricanes evicted almost to Broward County for the land that the Orange Bowl stood so proudly on. Never again a Miami High -Edison Thanksgiving Day stand off before 60,000 screaming citizen who $2 to go the game.The Trust panders to wishes of South Beach Lobbyist, Carnival Cruise Line owner Arinson,as well as the Seminole's Hard Rock and the Horse and Dog Track owner all with hand in the gambling pot. They are all afraid of Las Vegas style gambling. The time has come for our youth to step up and stop as this Good Buddy stuff  and bulldoze that monster on the Bay!  Maybe we want need the Red Light Cameras to steal the money from our citizens!!!!!!!
