I look at the announcement of yet another huge development in the Old Mill District and think, Wow.....just, wow.
The tendency is to think; well, this is big money. They must have done the research. They must know something I don't know. They must know what they're doing.
Not necessarily. I remember watching the AOL/ TimeWarner merger news conference, and thinking....what they said makes no sense. It's all jargon and buzz words, but no substance.
I watched Marvel make one huge mistake after another, until it went Chapter 11. (Someone said later, everyone in the company knew they were going down the wrong path, except the 3 guys making all the decisions.)
I've watched more than one industry for which my livelihood depends, self-destruct, with the major players making the major mistakes.
I've learned to trust common sense.
And the Old Mill District defies common sense.
