With his 10-story garage to hold 3,800 cars.  Or after Pittsburgh’s do their version of staying in the yellow lines, 3,456 parking spaces will be available.  I’m talking about you, the idiot that drives the BMW 740i and thinks they must manage to take up three spaces in a downtown garage.  Yes, it was me that pulled right in front of you with very little clearance from the right-front of your bumper.  I hope you enjoyed my note, asshole.  I had fun drawing it.

This, however, is about what Barden is not telling the public.  The money that could be used to submerge several stories of the garage underground and holdback the floods of the Ohio River, is actually being funnelled into two underground stories to hold those suspected of cheating in his new casino.

Not to be out-done by Sam “Ace” Rothstein, the rooms to hold those suspected of cheating will not just contain hammers, vices and electrical saws, but an assortment of medieval torture devices from his personal collection and that of his business partners.  Many of these have to be transferred overseas from Europe and Japan.  This shipping cost is enormous (think of the shipping costs for the Chihuly exhibit and multiply it by Pi).

In all seriouness, only Pittsburgh could take five-plus years to institute a money-making machine such as a casino.  Only Pennsylvania would do it half-assed and not allow table games.  How are slot machines going to attract people to Pittsburgh when they can venture an hour south and enjoy a full casino.  Bravo.
