IS IT TRUE that the remaining shell of the Executive Inn is only about half the width of the Parking Tower across the street, the Locust St. Parking garage, and every other parking garage in Downtown Evansville?…..that a traditional parking garage needs to be four (4) parking spaces plus two traffic lanes plus one turning radius wide?…..that nearly all traditional drive up parking structures are about half a block wide?……that the lot that the rapidly deteriorating Executive Inn sits on is not wide enough to support a free standing parking garage?…..that all three of the proposals that have been received by the Evansville Redevelopment Commission call for the new Downtown Convention Hotel to be placed where the Executive Inn Parking garage currently sits?…..that none of the proposals address any location details about a parking garage for the Downtown Convention Hotels that they are proposing?….that the City of Evansville has another dilemma due to lack of planning?…..that the citizens of Evansville may be asked to pay for some more overpriced land near the desired Downtown Convention Hotel to place a parking garage on?……that anyone with a computer can figure this one out by looking at a Google Maps picture of the Executive Inn and all of the parking lots in Downtown Evansville?

IS IT TRUE that the following link is to Google Maps and shows the pre-arena Executive Inn and its associated parking tower side by side? ….. that the following picture is worth a thousand press releases?

IS IT TRUE that Vanderburgh County ranks 3rd in the State of Indiana for applications for voting with absentee ballots?….that 11,408 applications for absentee ballots have been requested by registered Vanderburgh County voters? …..that absentee voters are typically much more independent in their choice of candidates and shy away from voting straight party line ballots?…..that Marion County with 5 times as many people only has 50% higher requests for absentee ballots than Vanderburgh County?….that this could mean that absentee ballots from independent minded voters could determine every close race in Vanderburgh County?……that in the City County Observer Reader’s Poll at this time with over 250 votes recorded that respondents for SPLIT TICKET VOTING outnumber STRAIGHT TICKET voters by 3 to 1 margins over both political parties?……that SOME candidates for office in Vanderburgh County have had more than 10,000 ad views recorded on the City County Observer?

IS IT TRUE that the City County Observer article about “Polls vs. Moles: The Results and Predictions”, set an all time record for single day readership of any article in the CCO?…..that this article and our other hard hitting articles that promote good public policy and expose questionable public policy are why the City County Observer has risen to be one of the top 200,000 visited websites in the United States and is closing in on a top 1,000,000 ranking worldwide?
