You would think that no one could possibly have such little shame as to say these words, but then you would be foolishly discounting the character of LFUCG Councilman George Myers, of "I apologize to you Dudley Webb. You just keep doin what your doin" fame. Check it out from Rhonda:
Life could still be a dream in LFUCG Chambers today, where Council Member George Myers told Council Member Doug Martin during the Intergovernmental Committee meeting, “We haven’t yet conceded Centrepointe’s not gonna happen.”

CM Martin’s dry response was “hope springs eternal.”

At the end of the GTV3 proceedings, this is the song that was playing on-air (by the CrewCuts).

“Oh, life could be a dream (sh-boom)
If only all my precious plans would come true (sh-boom).”
Here's a view from inside Councilman Myers' head (and don't let me stop you from dreaming about those rainbows, George... Sh-Boom!)

Just when you thought CentrePointe was dead, here comes the "mystery contractor":
5. Financing? Tim Tebow doesn't need no stinkin' financing — he will build CentrePointe with his bare hands all by himself this weekend.Just make sure you get paid in advance, Timmy.

In other news from fantasyland, check out all the cool stuff that will be built by the imaginary CentrePointe TIF that will never exist in the reality-based community.
Straub said the city does not anticipate starting any TIF projects until the block — which remains empty as construction has not yet begun on CentrePointe — is producing new tax revenues.Some serious laughs in that article, be sure to check out the whole thing.

Failed businessman Dudley Webb's CentrePonde/Lake Lexington is a BIG HIT with the neighbors downtown!

Nearby business owners complained Thursday about the unsightly, muddy block in downtown Lexington, as well as the potential health hazard posed by standing water.

"We're tickled to death to have a mosquito breeding ground in front of our restaurant," Robin Feeney, an owner of Caro's restaurant, 113 South Upper Street, said facetiously.

Feeney said she was trying to keep her sense of humor. A sandwich board over the grill Thursday advertised a "Centrepond special" — a pork tenderloin sandwich for $6.50.

The health department treated the CentrePointe site with mosquito larvicide about 10 days ago, said Jessica Cobb, the department's manager of environmental health and epidemiology.
