Unbelievable news on Family First. I truly hope the YMCA doesn't screw this one up.
By the way...GO BILLS!

The story in the Times said that Family First wasn't making any money. How is that possible? Is it bad management or did those 7,000 people a day never pay?

WSEE = bastards
What about Family First's joint venture w/ Nautilus? Will it remain a Nautilus as well?
BTW: Smart tax break, donating it if it's supposedly not making any money.

One good thing about being in Meadville is we get both WSEE and KDKA so we always get Steeler games, and in beautiful crystal clear High Definition. If anyone wants to come over, feel free. :)

Gary Renaud serves on the board of trustees at Mercyhurst College. Maybe this gift is a payback for allowing the (alleged) child molester Bill Garvey continue as president of the college for years and then go quietly without a completed investigation.
If Family First is losing money I'd bet it wasn't much and probably was only a paper loss. I'd love to see their financial statements.
I'm sure Nautilus, the Barbatos pizza shop and St Vincent sports medicine will stay.
RichardZ - Where should the Bills go? I suggest golfing by the looks of their play today.

Sticks and stones... Just because you Pittsburgh fans have had a good couple of seasons doesn't mean you need to get all righteous on me. In fact, the Squeelers have looked a lot like the Bills did in the mid 90's.
Go Bills!

Family First is all about giving. If you look into the history and the dream of the park it was always intented to be given back to the community. Money is not the big motivator and 7.5 million is not much when you are looking at a 25 million plus facility. It could have been paid off but I feel that family first wanted to go to the next level in blessing people.
