No reservations about the city hotel

There's an article in today's Monroe Snooze that says Ken Wickenheiser has bought the old Ciy Hotel and is going to turn it into loft apartments and street level business space.
He's the guy who has spent a pile on turning other downtown rat traps into very viable spaces. Maybe the city should put up a monument to him in the town square.
Better yet, maybe the city should put up a downtown investor wall of fame somewhere visible so all the folks who have taken a gamble on downtown can be recognized -- folks like the Beneteaus, Gruber-Sutton-Graves, Piedmonte, MBT, the Wilsons, Bicas, the Jonses, the Weaklys, the guy who brought his insurance firm to the corner of Monroe and First Sts. Heck, the list could go on and on. To do this in the face of the typical bureaucratic roadblocks one can encounter is deserving of thanks from everyone who's left that cares about downtown. Their efforts also enhance the property values of neighboring property owners who just sit on their hands.
Good luck to Mr. Wickenheiser and others who seem to have no reservations about rolling the dice downtown.
