Mayor Dean was out yesterday plugging his new plan to give the downtown riverfront a makeover. What are they actually planning on doing, you ask? Well, nobody knows yet. The Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency has been charged with the task of coming up with a plan for the space, which they may get around to dealing with after they tie up all the loose ends on that pesky Music Row eminent domain case. We at least know one thing about the plan–The Sounds sure as hell aren’t getting a new stadium.
