[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in an area with that a casino was introduced when I was maybe middle or high school.  I remember everyone saying it would be great for the economy.  It was devastating.  The first few years it was new and exciting.  Then the crime, smaller businesses moved out, and the area got a bad reputation.  It’s been a few years since I went back up that way and the area sucks.  Whoever said the builders and developers would benefit the most is right.  For whoever wants the casino, spend a few weeks or a week in a casino town and take notes.  They won’t be good notes.[/quote]

This is why casinos are usually placed in economically disadvantaged areas in the first place, they are the only places desperate enough to need the money that casinos bring in.

It's bizarre they want to put one in Tysons rather than Woodbridge, Manassas, or Dale City. [/quote]

They already have one: The Rose Gaming Resort in Dumfries. Really turned around Prince William county, right?[/quote]
