Wanna bet?

New Bedford is lining up to make another run at a casino.

I think it would be a great kickstart for the city. They have tremendous potential for a waterfront location to rival any in New England. The cobblestone streets are already there. There's unused or underused land right on the water that could support new growth. Maybe they don't have the mansions and big yachts, but they've got some good history and could easily build up a Newport-like shopping experience to back up the casino. They could draw Cape vacationers, Boston tourists, and all those people from West Seekonk (aka eastern Rhode Island).
