Convention Center

Heard recently that the convention center's location has been moved from the old air port area on the main highway to the area near the Arches in Sandy Beach and is suppose to be breaking ground this week. DH and I took a drive this morning and there were a couple of guys with surveying equipment in the general area. They were not surveying the road but appeared to be surveying land between the dirt road looking south.

Has anyone heard anything else?

There was a rumor that there was an effort to move it to the large parking area between the Del Sol Hotel and the harbor. The large lot where they have had special events set up. Great location to help the Hotel. Have not heard about the other.

This ties in to the other Esmeralda post about the old rusty cranes finally moving up and down and new ones coming in? Yes?

Well and add to the fact that having a convention center close to where the density of rooms is makes more sense than having to drive 5 miles + to attend your daily convention. Convention centers outside of the Hotel area do not do well. Being able to shuttle delegates to and from the resort properties to a center that is constructed on the same piece of property makes way more sense. IMHO

my guess...epic FAIL ....A Convention center in a town with bad air service and border issues plus Foxs News scaring the crap out of the Geezers (Jack you have to hold the rabbit ears and stand on one foot to tune in to the fear fiesta)

The only hope it's designed for multi uses
has low initial costs
focuses on the Mexican market.....man a light rail to Hermosillo would be the ticket

:rofl::rofl:Jerry...There ya go again.

".....man a light rail to Hermosillo would be the ticket" Did you really think that up yourself?

Is it only to and not from? Actually, that's a great idea, but won't happen in my short lifetime.

Decades ago I used to take the train back and forth from Mexicalli - and we used to go to the depot at midnight to buy tacos (only place serving food at that time of night). Also caught the train in Penasco to head to Mexico City - and Louisa & family used to take it back and forth to Caborca all the time.

Actually Kenny, I don't know if you ever did the train ride from Williams to the Grand Canyon or not, but they stage a train robbery on the way back.

I took my sister-in-law and brother-in-law up and back on it and they are shall we say, simple folks who didn't have a clue what was going on.
I think she might have wet herself when the pair came in with their guns and all. I laughed until I almost did the same. It was a really fun trip all around.

That picture reminds me of it.

Ha, it reminds me of back in the day when Knox Berry Farm was free, and the big attraction was the train robbery.

Today we've been watching trucks full of dirt coming from Choya Bay direction heading towards where the Convention Center is suppose to be. Then doing a turn around for another load of dirt. Maybe they are killing two birds with one stone - dredging a marina/port area and providing fill for the Convention Center? Maybe someone has a better idea?
