Anne Davis, 12\/1\/08.&#8221; \u00c2\u00a0Shortly before this sentence, in the timeline provided, Anne Davis is identified as an owner of the Spiece Fieldhouse &#8211; yet not official?<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Part of this document, bears some examination:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The FWCVB has been a supportive ally to Gym Rats, but no other support has been give to Gym Rats by the City of Fort Wayne. The only requests made were sidewalks and interstate signage to better accommodate the out of\u00c2\u00a0town traffic.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What other support is wanted or expected from the City? \u00c2\u00a0That&#8217;s a pretty heavy statement to throw out there. \u00c2\u00a0And yet, the document admits that only two requests were made.<\/p>\n<p>Sidewalks? \u00c2\u00a0I&#8217;m sorry, but I don&#8217;t see how sidewalks are going to make or break a business in that location.<\/p>\n<p>Interstate signage? \u00c2\u00a0What exactly is meant by interstate signage? \u00c2\u00a0Are you talking about those huge blue signs that list various venues and businesses along the interstate?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/home_signs.gif\" alt=\"Interstate signage, rendering taken from: https:\/\/www.indianalogo.com\/.\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">According to the INDOT website, these fall under the purview of this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianalogo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">agency\/business<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0Nothing to do with the City. \u00c2\u00a0If you&#8217;re talking about some signage that would be visible from the interstate, I don&#8217;t think that would necessarily fall under the City&#8217;s purview. \u00c2\u00a0What would that be the City&#8217;s responsibility to pay for and erect?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">I&#8217;m not defending the City here, but what exactly is required of the City in this situation? \u00c2\u00a0What can the City do that would help to insure Gym Rats stays in Fort Wayne? \u00c2\u00a0If the only requests made of the City were the two items mentioned, is the City supposed to be a mind reader and know what assistance is required? \u00c2\u00a0Has the organization called anyone in City government for assistance or to brainstorm? \u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">The bigger question is, <em><strong>why is Gym Rats considering the move?<\/strong><\/em> \u00c2\u00a0Is it something that the community can come together and fix?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Again, from the document:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>My objective\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">It is my opinion that the Fort Wayne community does not understand the magnitude of what Spiece\u00c2\u00a0Fieldhouse brings to our city. While I am an insider of the facility, I am only invested in Spiece Fitness, and\u00c2\u00a0do not hold any interest in the building or Gym Rats basketball. I simply take this opportunity to educate you and others in the community, so that one day we may give Spiece Fieldhouse the recognition it deserves\u00c2\u00a0and ensure this fabulous asset remains in our city.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Honestly? \u00c2\u00a0Tell us what we can do to keep the fabulous asset in our city. \u00c2\u00a0Tell the City government what it can do to ensure it remains. \u00c2\u00a0I think people do have an idea of the impact of Spiece Fieldhouse and the Gym Rats program. \u00c2\u00a0But, no one can help you without some clear indications of what it is you require<\/p>\n<p><strong>Added @ 11:25 am<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>From a <span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.news-sentinel.com\/apps\/pbcs.dll\/article?AID=\/20070904\/NEWS\/709040309\">News-Sentinel article<\/span>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>City consultants have more than once mentioned Spiece Fieldhouse as the kind of attraction Fort Wayne should do more to promote and duplicate &#8211; especially downtown.<\/p>\n<p>Ironic, considering owner Tom Spiece doesn&#8217;t think much of Harrison Square or other taxpayer-subsidized development projects.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;] &#8220;I wouldn&#8217;t take any subsidies. It&#8217;s not government&#8217;s job to support me,&#8221; said Spiece, whose love of Indiana University basketball is reflected in the jerseys and other cream-and-crimson memorabilia scattered throughout his sprawling 150,000-square-foot complex at 5310 Merchandise Drive. &#8220;I&#8217;m noncoercive.
