I wonder when we'll be invited to bail this one out?

Looks like a pig farm.

Oldtimers from that part of Jersey will know what that means.

Brendan Byrne got a public landmark named for himself while he was still in office, and lived long enough to see his name torn off the side facing Rt 3. Another Democrat joke. Jersey loves them, though. Can’t get enough of ‘em.

“Slated to open in August, Xanadu, a wannabe shopping paradise, will be a 2.4 million-sq.-ft. retail and entertainment complex located 3½ miles from the Empire State Building, across the Hudson River at the intersection of the New Jersey Turnpike and two heavily trafficked state roads through which 88 million vehicles pass each year.”

Only thing is, all they'll sell in there are jigsaw puzzles and sleds named “Rosebud.”

You've got to give the developers some credit for their tenaciousness....

The word is tenacity you stupid clump of mediocrity (whoops, that's mediumness to you).

Big business hatred purely drips from the authors words. Instead of promoting a project which will employ thousands they demean it because it “doesn’t look nice” in their opinion.

This fits right in with the liberal penchant for personal attacks on the people they disagree with ideologically. It also underlines the Lefts idea that business wise, if it’s big it’s bad.

We moved away from Malls over 20yrs ago and going to a mall is just not our idea of fun.

Is it still a popular outing for many Americans?

If a project is backed by Democrats then it's OK to build on and destroy wetlands; however, if you are a farmer or rancher forget about it. The exterior is very ugly.

I’d like to ask those who complain about its location:

Question: “Who goes to a mall for the exterior scenery?!”

Answer: Only a moron.

Xanadu will do great. It is going to be a huge draw for the wealthy in North Jersey and NYC and will be an alternative shopping destination for those who typically go to NYC at Christmas time.
