Here’s the little quiz I’ve been playing with friends and colleagues from all over the city. First question: Do you know what One Central is? Most common answer: “I’ve heard of it, not really sure what/where it is.” Second question: Do you know the state has approved a $6.5 billion taxpayer subsidy for this project, which promises to extend the downtown skyline with nine skyscrapers of unspecified height and now is a top contender for the city’s new casino?
Most common answer: “No! When did that happen?” Or even, “Billion, with a ‘B’?!” Yep, that’s right.
