Controversy

Latest comment: 14 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

In keeping with the spirit of neutrality on Wikipedia, I will mention these things on this page, and not on the main one. I am a resident of Bethlehem and I am far from neutral.

This article lists the things that have been built on the former Bethlehem Steel properties. "The casino will have 3,000 slot machines, a 300-room hotel, a concert hall-type venue (which essentially nixed plans for the originally-designated multiplex movie theater), dozens of restaurants and upscale retail shops and also a parking garage for nearly 6,000 vehicles." The facts are that Sands made a deal with the city council that the city would allow the casino if they only put in slot machines, built a hotel and convention center, shops, restaurants, etc.
1. The skeleton of the ten storey hotel was built, covered with a tarp and still stands where it was.
2. The convention center, which was booked for this summer by the Pennsylvania Knights of Columbus, has not been started.
3. The concert hall is still just a plan.
4. The Natural History museum about Bethlehem Steel has been scrapped.
5. Sands has now been pushing the Pa senate to allow table games, and will quite likely get their way. 6. The 800,000 sq.ft., blocks-long shopping mall never happened, except for 10 restaurants/nightclubs.
7. Now this week, the casino is saying that they are not going to build the hotel and mall until the table games show a profit, yet the slot machines take in millions of dollars a week. [1]
Mayor John Callahan was presented with the statistics that every county with casinos has seen the index crime rate triple in 2 years. His response was, "Bethlehem is special. It won't happen here." For our sakes, I pray that he is right. The entire project has been a broken promise from the beginning.

Some of this article reads like a brochure

"The Outlets at Sands Bethlehem, located just 60 minutes from Philadelphia and 90 minutes from New York City, is the finest outlet shopping center with the most legendary brands."

This doesn't sound very neutral, I don't know enough about the place to be able to edit the article but this feels like it's been lifted from promotion material. --Teh klev (talk) 16:32, 17 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
