At least one believer in the convention center myth, the press, has begun to notice that gratuitous projections used to promote the facilities don’t conform to reality.

Chad Adams took this news to Wilmington where he spoke with WAAV’s Donn Ansell show about the city’s new diabolical taxing plan to fund the proposed convention center.
