Speaking of grants from wealthy entrepreneurs ...
I heard a rumor today that the local Salvation Army has raised the $25 million it needed to match the $60 million from Ray & Joan Kroc Trust to build the Kroc Center on the fairgrounds.
Which could mean they'll be breaking ground very, very soon.
Details to come.

Kroc development: $85 million
Fairgrounds redevelopment estimate: $175 million
And out of $260 million, nobody can strike a deal to keep the Pippin & Carousel in the center of it all? Insane.
