We can’t pass up an opportunity to visit some of the stories that came up during our summer hiatus. The stalled ‘east campus’ projects – stalled from a combination of bad economy and inexpert administrative handling – were announced as being activated by opening negotiations with Cordish (a firm that specializes in development), to find out what is the art of the possible.

Cordish of course is one of the champions of gaming in Maryland, and is best known locally for is controversial advocacy for slots at Arundel Mills mall, just up the BW parkway from us here in College Park. Locals are up in arms over Cordish’s bullying tactics, and a number of local and state legislators may soon give up their seats (coming election) for having played ball with the company. If the referendum of people fighting Cordish win, maybe we get slots in College Park?

Great choice there, guys.
