If BC Place Didn't Need A New $450 Million Roof....

.....Would Gordon Campbell Have Been Forced To Rip A Gaping Hole In The Thing With His Bare Hands?

After all, how else to explain that the new Circus-Circus on the edge of Yaletown is going to cost, surprise(!), a cool-handed $450 million?

And while I saw the marshmallow roof-assisted land-jack coming, I must confess that I never envisioned that it would morph into Vegas-Style casino with a grass top.....

But, funnily enough, there was a wee bit of foreshadowing from 'The Boss' that I wrote about, and perhaps should have paid more attention to, a while back....."....I was floored when he (Springsteen) changed things up and OPENED the (Vancouver) show with 'Atlantic City'.....Which, given that he is known to use his set-list to make statements, is pretty interesting don't you think?"

FYI.....The 'Circus-Circus' is, as Hunter S. Thompson once infamously wrote, "what the whole hep world would be doing on Saturday night if the Nazis had won the war.".......
