Ryan is dead on when he said we never admit we're wrong.

My rather strange municipal obsession led me to go digging through the archives at school one day, and my research eventually led me to the original plan for the 'new City Hall'. The entire area where the convention center is was supposed to be an ice skating rink, corporate funded planetarium and 'forum-esque' plaza.

Snooping through the microfilm for the Spec around the same time, the number of comments from citizens and municipal officials questioning the feasibility and practicality of the project stood out.

A few months later, local media was abuzz with the idea of an glass foyer for city hall, and questions of its feasibility and practicality abounded.

We all remember who wrote "All the great events and characters of world history occur, so to speak, twice. The first time as tragedy, the second as farce."
