I only looked at Leetch's Wikipedia page. Official measurments aside, we've both seen the guy on the ice a million times. I'm not sure what his height was, but it wasn't 6'1

maybe he seemed taller while limping after breaking his ankle slipping on ice leaving that bar several years ago.

Ed Mangano stated he wanted to replace the Coliseum this article says that the plan is to refurb it. who really knows how close they are to a deal Nassau County has to do something. it could be that Wang ends up with a new building and co owning w/county |

That cow Murray said she was amenable to a reduced version of the Lighthouse project; by half of Wangsworld I believe. This casino deal I dont think would use up the entire Hub area, but I could be wrong about that. If so, it appears as if it is closer to what Murray would approve and she may be more willing to negotiate with someone other than Wang. The Çounty and TOH would get their tax revenue and add jobs to an area everyone says needs to be developed. With any project you must take the first step. Hopefully this is it. And with Cuomo in office he may be motivated to get this done to help the bankrupt County get back in the black. Obviously, there are a bunch of obstacles. But you have to start somewhere. I still believe everyone involved wants to develop the land. Lets see who is motivated to attach their political careers to getting it done. |

LOL! Town of Hempstead is never gonna go for a casino right next to Hofstra. It ain't gonna happen and in the slightest chance it does it will be ten years down the road after lots of disputes. The Islanders will be gone by then. |

Mule, the TOH will not have any say in the matter if the state turns the land into tribal ground. The TOH is irrelevent. What is relevent is NYS and Nassau County. Will be a lot of hurdles. We'll see what happens. |

Why??? Because nobody is gonna want a casino right next to a major college. Great for students to blow their tuition money on. Also would probably see a rise in crime in the surrounding area. If I lived there I wouldn't want a casino anywhere near where I live. We will see but I doubt a casino will fly on that land so close to a major college. |

Firstly, there is a reason why they set age restrictions on gambling. If it's 21, then who cares where it is. Most undergrad college students are under age 21. That will be up for the state to decide. If it's 18, I agree with you. Have a hard time believing it would ever be 18, it would be pure stupidity.
Mule, I'm not saying this sarcastically, but are you from Long Island? A rise in crime in the surrounding area? You mean Uniondale and Hempstead? Can those areas get any worse? I don't feel comfortable driving through those areas during the middle of the day. And I was basically forced to do so recently while taking care of a few things. Those areas can only get better. |

Just curious. Do you have a link? All the articles I've read cite half or just less than half of the hub approved for redevelopment. |

I respectfully disagree. If those areas are already bad I only see them getting worse with the addition of a casino. |

Lettherebelighthouse? The Nick Googlia site by someone who fully supported Wang's ahem, "vision". Totally skewed. But wait, what about this one? http://www.lettherebelighthouse.com/2010/0...s-tomorrow.html
Who are we to believe??? This blogger who supported Wang and uses "sources" speculating to inflate the scale back from 50% (as stated by Botta AND Newsday) to 60% and 75%? I kept hearing from real press that t was half. http://www.newsday.com/long-island/nassau/...-half-1.2096669 The collective project was cut in half, but since the HOUSING units were reduced by 75%, those pro Wang "sources" inflated the number. Since we're fans, let's split the difference and say it was 40%.
