Observations...

Regarding Grove's new casino to be built on Highway 59 next to the Stonebrook Inn, we've heard that this will be the nation's first "Winners Only" casino. This means that everyone who enters the building, wins, there are no losers. Everyone is guaranteed to win at least $1.00 and lose nothing.
People will be lined up at the doors, even lined up to get across Sailboat Bridge. They will spend their winnings in Grove, of course, flooding city coffers with so much money the city won't be able to spend it. A new swimming pool, civic center, curbs and gutters on every street, new water and wastewater treatment plants, every street laid with new asphalt, new store fronts on every downtown building, a completed Wolf Creek project and even a new steakhouse with great food and service with fine wine. And on top of this, every adult in Grove will receive a brand new car and have their mortgage paid for and everyone will be happy with no divorces and no child abuse and even the crime problem will go away because people will be able to buy drugs instead of stealing money for them. Money will flow through the streets like water.

Imagine.

Oh, sorry, we were just having a nice dream and then we woke up.

But like they say, we can dream can't we?
