I would have said apartments, but wouldn’t it be odd to have an apartment building in Times Square?  Regardless, the city needs to side with Broadway, and shut this down.  The company who built the hotel and raised the Palace, they could have done all of that with this property, and left the Palace alone.

Broadway is not uniformly against this. The League is against it, but AEA is not, for instance.

Well it’s members are against it. Maybe the league can get the nypd to come out against the casino.

Stop bumping old threads. If there was notable development on any of this stuff, it would be news.

Things are ratcheting up in the casino war.  The alliance of theatrical stage employees comes out against the casino.  How on earth did actors equity get on board with this?

They say they’ll spend 250 million bucks in neighborhood investment to support Times Square and Hell’s Kitchen communities if they win the license.

AEA and AFM are both in support of the casino. Probably because the casino said they would hire AEA performers and AFM musicians.
