Yet they offer only $5 million dollars in replacement value to a fully functioning tourist attraction, the 30,000 square foot Musicians Hall of Fame.

      <![CDATA[Pete, great post in calling a spade a spade.<br />
I have many friends in the PR business and they all have similar comment:<br />
It was unethical of MP&F, as incestuously familiar with Metro's contracting requirements as they are, to have proceeded with work so improperly commissioned. They are also irritated that this situation has brought such scrutiny to their industry, hurting the image of REAL hard-working and honest PR pros.<br />
Here's what I think: My 10-year old daughter could amass more than the 120 Facebook friends MP&F found for the Convention Center, and she could put together more compelling Tweets, too.

      <![CDATA[I'm kind of jammed up today, Rick, so I don't have time to do the research. But I'll give you the two biggest ones off the top of my head.<br />
They've been peddling two sets of numbers on how many visitors the new center will attract.

      <![CDATA[Since when did building a much needed convention center become such an evil proposition?<br />
MDHA paid MP&F $458,000 to carry out the PR operation of the project. It looks like the firm hasn't done a very good job, considering the number of naysayers and skeptics still out there.

      <![CDATA[No, I'm not suggesting the tourism bureau is wasting money at all. What I am suggesting is that they've already been a vigorous PR arm for the convention center -- and not always an honest one.
