So what does the Threefoot Building have to do with our next class reunion? According to The Meridian Star today: "One of the first big steps in the redevelopment of downtown's Threefoot building into a Marriott hotel will be taken this week as workers begin a detailed examination of the building's exterior." Restoration is expected to be completed by December 2010.
Folks, let's consider the new Marriott hotel as a possibility for our next class reunion. By then it should be a smooth-running operation, located in our home town, in an area that is becoming very charming and revitalized. The same article says that the Kress Building may be redeveloped into a banquet hall with work to be finished at the same time as the Marriott hotel.
One caution: the rates may not be as good as the casino but those would be hard to beat. I would expect the Marriott rates to be higher, but there would be other options for people as far as where they stay. On the other hand, maybe we could cut a good deal with the Marriott.
