No 38 Million For Me (sadly)

[jamesq]

I read this on 5th_estate and thought I should share.

If I were a billionaire, the three most extravagant things I would want would be a baseball team, an old-fashioned movie palace, and a newspaper. Because I like those things. I wouldn't expect big returns, but I also wouldn't endow them with dump-trucks full of my money; I'd be happy with break-even. Because a winning ball club, a real theater (as opposed to a crappy little closet at the multiplex), and a solid newspaper are good for the community.They're good for the soul.

I agree with the movie palace and the newspaper (especially here in Cowtown). The sports team? Not so much.

The original post, for context.
