    They have finally released the drawing of what it will look like. With all the talk of the B10HC I think it's interesting that they show a Michigan Bus out front! :)

    The interesting thing about it is how they are sticking with the general design of all the new building on that side of campus. It's not a "modern" looking design in terms of glass and steel instead some what of an updated "Old World" look.

    It's pretty slow loading drawing, and there is nothing on the interior.

    In your day Sid, Edison would have gone right through the middle of the Hockey Arena!

    I honestly don't remember how Edison looked in my day, but at sometime in the past, based on the remains of the old road you are referring to, it would have.

    Who do you think inspired Thomas to give up barbering and take up inventing! Of course little did Tom know that Sid really wanted his barbering gig to make some extra cash and never really believed that electricity crap would ever take off! :)

    Very funny, guys. You should show more respect to your elders. Terry, I know you and I are close to the same age, but you look much younger. :lol:
