With slots plans in, review begins
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
By Andrew Conte
Here's an interesting story about John Ross, an artist who lost his Brooklyn work space to condo conversions, and now faces the loss of his current loft in Pittsburgh to a new arena, if a casino license is awarded to a group headed by the Pittsburgh Penguins hockey team.
NoLandGrab: It reminds us of something said at a recent eminent domain forum, "Where ever you go, there you are." Artists may feel particularly victimized by eminent domain seizures, since developers frequently get interested in neighborhoods made cool (read: ripe for condo conversions) through the artists' pioneering.
