Update on the Arcade Project
My dreams have changed. I have received so much positive response concerning the opening of my brothel in the Arcade that I no longer want to open my truck garage on the South side of the Square. I have been approached by the Pennnnn Corporation who inquired about leasing the street level portion of the building to open a casino, and moving the brothel into the basement.
They indicated that the possibility exists that they have located a Hopewell Indian survivor, living under a bridge in Toboso. Her Indian name is Owaahtanah and according to her, she was originally from Dresden. She stated that her great, great grandfather, Chief Mawahmantoso, translated means 'basket weaver" had relocated his tribe to the Dresden area "many moons" ago. They survived by making baskets and selling them to the local population.
She related too, that the Dresden Vocational School had persuaded her father, The Chief, to teach classes at the school on Basket Weaving. Rumor has it that one of his early students was named Longaberger.
When the Pennnnn Corporation was contacted regarding a gaming license for the proposed "Casino in the Arcade in the Mustang Building," their representative commented, "No problem, we will get an Indian Casino License, we found one living in Toboso who showed ownership papers of the entire downtown area." She also told us, "I have a country club golf course too, with a pool and tennis courts."
She further stated, "Eef awl of theese works out, Little Running Wolf Siam and I weel be able to get married, I am veery excited."
Construction on the new complex will start as soon as building permits are acquired.
