I doubt it will take off as an events center.  It doesn't seem to have any charm.  And then there is the newer conference center that was built not too long before Russell closed down.  I believe it is owned by Ben Russell and no one seems to have any idea what he plans to with it.  I was wondering why they didn't put the Innovation Center there.  

I think that there are a lot of old timers that don't want anything to change.  One guy is redoing the old Frosens Department store building downtown to sell men and woman's specialty clothes.... does anyone ever do a demographics study before they decide what to do with a space?  

But as far as the hospital - one day I had to go to an urgent care and went to the new one.  There wasn't a soul in there, except my husband and I.
