While I'd rather not have the old site turned into a casino, there is really noting else that can bring in that money, so I'm a big supporter.We're the center of the Lehigh Valley, sharing space with Allentown and Easton.

Using this metaphor, are you in a river, pool, ocean, lake.

We have the Ascent in Covington, Southshore in Newport, Harbor Greene in Bellevue, Adams Landing in Cincinnati, River Pointe in Cincinnati, which hasn't even broken ground, and a whole slew of condos in the downtown Cincinnati area.

Las Vegas is in a valley and building has extended to all ends of it.

I have spent some time in the Phoenix area in the past and still have friends and relatives in the Valley.

There is a property in Moon Valley (Phoenix) I could contract for that is going for 70% or less!

I was an Elec Eng in Silicon Valley for a couple of decades before I started doing RE.
