Astrodome and dumberer

This just in on the Houston Astrodome, five years after it was abandoned by the Astros: It's not going to be a theme park after all. Instead, the Dallas Morning News reports that Harris County, which still owes about $50 million on previous renovations to the building, wants to turn it into ... a convention center and hotel. At a cost of about $200 million. And "some county officials have raised the possibility of a public contribution to save the historic Dome." Vey ist mir!
