you will notice if you have observed the other charts provided previously by
Robert, we have unexpectedly had another hotel come in with a good bid.
The Loews is in a better location that will prevent or decrease
cab/pedicab fees, it’s prices are very close to the <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Hampton</st1:place></st1:City> and its a much higher end hotel
chain. It’s still not a convention capable hotel, but I suspect it
is one that could bid on a Convention Center based convention to provide us
with rebates in exchange for room rentals and the banquet or some other such
event, etc to make one of those happen. Ultimately thought, I say the <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Riverside</st1:place></st1:City> would be a
better venue for reasons I previously stated.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana;color:black'>By my calculation, it
is a good ¼ mile walk from the Loews Hotel to the Convention Center. That is probably
at the upper limit of reasonableness for able-bodied Convention attendees to
walk, and too far for mobility limited attendees. I think there are several
public buses that travel between that hotel and the Convention Center, but most
people would probably dismiss that option as being far too much trouble to be
worth utilizing.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
